How does microblogging on Lemmy communities work? (kbin.social)

I'm guessing it has something to do with mastodon, since microblogging is interoperable with mastodon like how threads are interoperable with lemmy.

Example post:
https://kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org/p/434431

I can see this post on beehaw here:
https://beehaw.org/post/565892

But next to it in technology@beehaw.org are threads that show up in the threads section of kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org

How are threads and microblogs distinguished on different instances if they're both interoperable with both lemmy and mastodon like this appears to be? How can you access the general mastodon feed from kbin?

@ppptan

This FAQ gives a little bit of some details I managed to figure out as it relates to kbin.

I think it's because your post tagged the lemmy community that it showed up.

@dannekrose How did it tag it? I just went to https://kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org/microblog and typed "test"
