How does microblogging on Lemmy communities work?

I’m guessing it has something to do with mastodon, since microblogging is interoperable with mastodon like how threads are interoperable with lemmy.

Example post:
https://kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org/p/434431

I can see this post on beehaw here:
https://beehaw.org/post/565892

But next to it in technology@beehaw.org are threads that show up in the threads section of kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org

How are threads and microblogs distinguished on different instances if they’re both interoperable with both lemmy and mastodon like this appears to be? How can you access the general mastodon feed from kbin?

Okay, so just do whatever and it’ll work itself out. Go to “threads” if I’m in the mood to see reddit-type stuff and go to “microblog” if I’m in the mood to see twitter-type stuff.

Thanks for the good explanation.

yup. that’s a good way to treat it: threads for reddit-type stuff, microblog for twitter-type stuff.
