@lemm.eeEvery single Threads user is displayed in your home feed, with zero option to only show content from people you're following. Hashtagging doesn't work yet, and most profile edits need to be done from your Instagram account, which clearly demonstrates that Threads isn't so much a Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky competitor as much as it is an Instagram DLC.
I'm sure it's gonna do gangbusters since it's baked-in to the most popular social platform in the world, but... it sucks?

IDIC was Roddenberry's way to ensure that Star Trek would be forever woke
There's a user on lemm.ee who has been making hundreds of communities over the last few days, but it seems like a flag-planting operation more than anything else. It would be impossible for one person to moderate all of these communities, and they have zero post or comment history.
Is this a bot, or a person with way too much time on their hands? Regardless, is there a way to, like, address this? Or is that a dead-end?
"The Reddit Trick" in Google searches has been my go-to for the last several years. It's almost become a prerequisite for the search engine to even function at this point.
However, due to Reddit's impressively thorough bed-shitting, and the in-progress mass migration off of it, it might be a good idea to have some redundancies in place for that weird, digital, usage-case-specific Library of Alexandria.
I feel a little funny about simply copying/pasting useful info threads off of Reddit and into their applicable Lemmy communities (also what are we calling subreddits here on Lemmy? Communities doesn't quite cut it because subreddits is shortened to subs while communities is shortened to... well), at least without having the original posters who did the work involved.
If it's something common-knowledgy, like a Life Pro Tip, sure, it's fair game, re-post away. But if it's stuff that actually required any R&D, what do we then? Is there an ethical or moral consensus on that kind of thing, or is that still being built in discussions here?
P.S. - I vote we call "subs" here on Lemmy "lubs"
EDIT: lubs is a joke, y'all
