In a lot of ways it is better, supports hashtags, has full activitypub support (not just the group support) which allows following users, and allows boosting.
Though it also has severe drawbacks like a lack of MD support (glitch-soc has it but normal Mastodon doesn't), doesn't allow arbitrary link attachments like lemmy, and does not have good community/group view or threaded comments, though these last two are mainly front-end issues.
Lemmy doesn't have follow functions for users, only for the community actors. Lemmy users can't follow individual accounts. Though threads users can follow them, and also follow communities just like Mastodon users can. Also they can post to communities and reply to posts and comments in them the same as Mastodon users can.

We have migrated to !agender@lemmy.blahaj.zone and we are no longer on Reddthat.com, this community will remain for a few weeks so people can migrate to the new one.
I am absolutely not in favor of federating with threads, beyond the EEE scares and corporate abuse they also have a huge problem with moderating properly and have large amounts of trolls and transphobic content. Facebook has a very bad track record in general with moderation and has allowed this type of content to thrive on their other platforms in the past, threads doesn't seem to be an exception.
These servers also block threads as well. Basically all the most popular instances except lemmy.world are blocking threads.
Hello, I recently just created an Agender community on Lemmy, I'm posting here to hopefully try and promote this community in case there are any Agender people or people curious about Agender who would be interested in checking out this community.
The Agender community is at !agender@reddthat.com if you want to check it out, the community is also included as a lemmyverse link in the post.
Agender has moved to lemmy.blahaj.zone, find it here !agender@lemmy.blahaj.zone
If this type of promotion isn't okay please let me know and I won't do it again
We have migrated to lemmy.blahaj.zone due to Reddthat's lack of agency around the threads federation issue. This is unacceptable for us as threads is well known for their lack of moderation in regards to transphobic and queerphobic content which obviously does not bode well for this community. https://glaad.org/smsi/report-meta-fails-to-moderate-extreme-anti-trans-hate-across-facebook-instagram-and-threads/
This community is locked to allow people to migrate to !agender@lemmy.blahaj.zone and will be deleted in the next few weeks.
Draconic NEO @reddthat.com The Agender and A-spec communities have moved to lemmy.blahaj.zone so this account will likely get very little use. This account is Parked to avoid impersonation or theft of my username or identity.
