I've seen that some instances have already done it preemptively.

Federation is independent from content type so technically yeah, but seeing as you wouldn't really want to see microblog type content in a link aggregator style display... It doesn't really matter. Not to mention that afaik threads ain't even federated yet...

Yeah I figured there's a bit of an apples and oranges thing between the two, even if they use the same underlying protocol. On the one hand, it may mean there's less risk of threads poaching lemmy users/content (as compared to mastadon or even twitter), but on the other hand, there may not be much value in federating with them in the first place.
