That's the most famous ActivityPub social just because people don't know what federation is and that Threads implements it (disabled by default).
All IRL people who know Threads whom I asked what made Threads different from Twitter didn't know about this feature.
It's like people can't get interested in anything unless it has the Big Tech stamp of approval. 🙄
It's just about marketing. People don't know about what they don't hear about, and the wealthier companies can make sure people hear about them. There's no budget for that with regular Fediverse sites.
Some people take the initiative to learn things on their own though. I suppose we're not their target audience however.
