This is not true, Lemmy can federate with Threads in the same way it federates with Mastodon. It's all ActivityPub underneath.
There's very little point telling me it is possible without telling me how. I have tried and failed with kBin and I don't even know where to start with Lemmy.
I would like to follow Cory Doctorow's Mastodon account on Lemmy. Could you explain how?
Thanks,
This specific case is not possible, Lemmy doesn't support following individual users. It's not clear how you would see their posts, as posts are only visible when made in specific communities.
But that doesn't mean it doesn't federate in other ways.
How does it federate in ways that affect users?

That's a problem for people who use Meta. How is it a problem for people on Mastodon?
