the communities that allow people to register most easily and see the most active content become the overwhelming majority of the content on the system.

hasnt this already happened with lemmy.world being the Big One?

They're leading the pack. Although, that could change if some supermassive community like Threads ever implemented a Lemmy API.

Still a relatively slight difference in scale between .world and Reddit compared to, say, .world and shi.tjustworks or lem.ee.

How does Threads federation work compared to Mastodon? Do they have an allow list?

Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities so I'm curious if Threads can already federate with Lemmy.

If they can, I've never seen it. No Threads content in any Lemmy instance I'm aware of and no way to use the Threads app as a client for lemmy.world or any of the others.
