How would Threads federate with Lemmy in the first place since they’re a microblogging thing and we’re not?

I don’t understand how ActivityPub works that well and I haven’t used Threads so maybe I just doing get it.
But why would we have to worry about defederating Threads when it’s a Twitter clone? It doesn’t have communities and such so I would think it’s not compatible. We’re not federated with Mastodon instances right? This seems like something for Mastodon to worry about. How is a Lemmy instance refusing to federate with Threads relevant?
You're viewing a single thread.
If this where to happen, my guess is it's the same as Mastodon and many other platrforms that are also microblogging!
For example, if you "mention" a community from Mastodon within a post the post will show up on that community. Here's an example I just posted from Mastodon to Lemmy: https://geddit.social/post/183439
And the other way around too.. without federation, you couldn't follow a lemmy user on Mastodon and see their posts and comments as a timeline.
