Server indexes of places for newcomers to join can be instrumental for Fediverse adoption. However, sudden rule changes can leave some admins feeling pressure to change policies in order to remain listed.

Threads can still participate via comments on Lemmy. I believe they can also post to communities via hashtags?

Mastodon has groups similar to Lemmy communities, Threads could definitely implement them too.

And what kinds of trouble do you expect Threads users to create by participating in our communities?

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 5 points 7 months ago

Well, for one thing, Threads is already full of ads. And I don't mean Threads ads, I mean users posting ads, like ads for their own products or services or for their audience, trying to be an influencer and all that.

But it's not necessarily the users that will be problematic. It's more that by federating with Meta, you're giving value to Zuckerberg. And I don't want to do that.
