What is the difference between a post and thread? (kbin.social)

yo idk if this is the right place to put this, so sorry if it's not. Iv been really trying to figure this place out and honestly it feels like they made things overly complicated. I understand the magazines and the federated stuff I guess, maybe. But what the hell is the difference between posts and threads. Also I have noticed that sometimes I go into a magazine that says it has posts and threads and there is nothing there. Just need a little help. I don't want to go back to reddit.

A post is like a tweet, and ends up in the Microblog. Other "posts" that use the hashtag will also end up there.

A thread is like a Reddit post, and is basically part of the main content of a "magazine" / sub / community.

Yeah, unfortunately the Threads app (by Meta) sure adds to the confusion here lmao.

On kbin.social, a thread is indeed like a reddit post, where you post content like links or pictures, and we all comment and discuss lol.

On Threads, that's a twitter competitor lmao, and Threads content would be comparable to what kbin calls "posts" lol. I'm so sorry lol.

oh this post has nothing to do with the Threads app by Meta. please refer to a-man-from-earth's comment.
