Threads has gone out of its way to make real time engagement impossible. Seeing post about sporting events that ended 3 days ago on your front page is terrible UX. If I was a conspiratorial type person I would believe zuck & elon colluded not to compete in that space.
Which has limited value during real time events. If you are not preemptively following people who are interested in or involved with that event then you lose out on following that event in real time.
