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.

So how does one create a thread? I've made a few posts in the microblog and selected a magazine, but I never saw them appear in the Magazine.

Go to the magazine that you want to create a thread in, hit the + in the top bar, and select "Add new link" or "Add new thread". There's also a select box for the magazine once you hit one of those.

For a microblog post, make sure to hit "Add new post" and again, there is a dropdown select box for the magazine. Also, you can add a hashtag to make the microblog post show up in various magazines.

There is a plus up in the top right group of icons. When you click it, it gives you options to choose from and asks if you want to make a thread, post, link,ect. Once you are in that page there is an option for what magazine you want it to go in. [FYI I have been using kbin for three days so I could be wrong.]
