If you post on Threads, will it also appear on Lemmy since they both uses ActivityPub protocol?
Not yet. Threads has announced fediverse Integration as “coming soon.” When it does, you’ll need to find an instance that federates with threads. Most of the fediverse seems to be losing their fucking minds over the thought of it right now, so you’ll probably end up having to search for a while for a federated instance.
Excuse the ignorance but what stops Meta setting up their own instance?
That’s exactly what Threads is. But nobody else wants to play with them.
And for good reason. I don’t for a second believe that meta has good intentions for the fediverse. I would not be surprised if they’re trying an embrace, extend, extinguish play to control the fediverse.
It’s up to the instance operators. Lemmy.ml just announced proactive defederation. Some others should follow suit. You as a user can switch instances or operate your own, giving you full control.

The point of decentralization is that one group doesn’t get to decide the rules you follow. If you disagree with a servers decision to defederate with Meta, then you can switch to another and still take part in the same communities you did before.
Because you can pick an instance with a different federation policy or even run your own instance.
Mostly yes though sometimes there are bugs where it doesn’t work generally speaking you should be able to follow and comment on a kbin instance no different than lemmy
OP is asking about META’s (formerly facebook) Threads app. You’re right about kbin, though.
Wait what, it does? I thought it’s closed off
Threads and lemmy aren’t linked and threads will hopefully be blocked whenever they do try and link
