      “Lemmy” is just software, it is not an entity that can federate/defederate as a whole. Instances can federate or defederate. I think most instances have defederated, with the notable exception of the largest instance, lemmy.world (which, again, is not “lemmy”).

        I have a Lemmy world account I log into frequently, I have never seen a threads post here. How would they appear? Or would I only see them on Mastadon

          You would see them as posts or comments, just as you usually see posts and comments. Users on Mastodon or Threads can reply to posts or comments and it will show as comments on a Lemmy instance. They can post with certain hashtags to post to communities.

          I’m not 100% sure if Threads has started federating yet, so that could be why you’re not seeing anything.

            Yeah, it likely hasn’t started, as the influx of posts/comments would skyrocket

      1. Because that is not a decision Lemmy can make; thousands of different instances running Lemmy can choose to do whatever its admins choose to do.

      2. Because (AFAIK) Lemmy instances cannot federate with Threads anyway.

        This is not true, Lemmy can federate with Threads in the same way it federates with Mastodon. It’s all ActivityPub underneath.

          There’s very little point telling me it is possible without telling me how. I have tried and failed with kBin and I don’t even know where to start with Lemmy.

          I would like to follow Cory Doctorow’s Mastodon account on Lemmy. Could you explain how?

          Thanks,

            This specific case is not possible, Lemmy doesn’t support following individual users. It’s not clear how you would see their posts, as posts are only visible when made in specific communities.

            But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t federate in other ways.

              How does it federate in ways that affect users?

                  That’s a problem for people who use Meta. How is it a problem for people on Mastodon?
