Hoping this is correct. Whats a Thread under a magazine, especially vs. a Microblog (kbin.social)

And why must I create a new 'article' to make a thread and not a post - which I think makes a new microblog.

I'm coming from a Mastodon POV, I run my own instance and have a pretty good idea (I think) about how federation works. The way ActivityPub is used is close enough to be familiar but also... not; very uncanny valley.

Additionally, if upvotes are favourites, what are downvotes? and how are they federated?

It's extra confusing since if I click on the plus in top right, I get all of these as options. Wouldn't that mean that all of these are just types of threads, as in article is a text post/thread, photo is an image thread, etc?

Basically, thread = submission in reddit terms?

And it's just a comment, it's never called a post in this context, at least based on the button that I'm about to click to send this? Top level comment doesn't start a thread, right now it says that the thread owner is "VerifiablyMrWonka" whos the author of the whole thread, not the commenter.
