This is the way.

I'm on lemmy.ca and I get the same thing. Doesn't matter if I'm using an app or desktop. I made an account on lemmy.world and the same happens.

But, the subscriptions are working and appearing in my main feed, so I assume it's just a bug that'll get fixed eventually.

Agreed.

I can't tell if Bluesky is any better. I mean, morally. I'm unsure myself. I'm on the waiting list for Bluesky.

There are a lot of news items about Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk still being friends and helping each other out, even to this day. I'm still trying to filter my findings to learn what is fact or fiction.

But there is a chance if one doesn't like Threads because it is owned by Meta, then using Bluesky may be a hypocritical choice. Not sure yet.

Your second point is the same guess as mine. Although you might be right about rushing the app out the door. They knew Bluesky is on the horizon and Mastodon was picking up users.

Once I followed people and accounts I wanted to see, their feeds automatically took over. What you saw was Meta filling the feed with something so average users don’t see an empty void and give up.

A friend who signed up at the same time was seeing my activity too. If I responded to someone, he could see it and join in the conversation, and vice versa. I actually didn't how Threads took this route. I personally found it more appealing than Twitter and Mastodon when I first signed up and had nothing but an empty feed and had to go find everyone.

Same.

Connect For Lemmy and WefWef are helping me get by since they have similar gesture support.

I see the potential with Lemmy. I was able to adapt to this far quicker than Mastodon. Albeit I was more of a Reddit user and barely touched Twitter.

What I'm curious about is how things will fair once the two competitors of Twitter come out soon. - Threads and Bluesky.

Yes, but they're not going to know to do that. People will post, see error, retry, give up and move on.

I just tried this on Mastodon's official app (Android) and that feature doesn't work for me.

I feel bad when I see people have duplicate replies. Their duplicates get downvoted and I've seen people act demeaning as if the repeated comments were intentional. Meanwhile Lemmy and its apps are developing so bugs are going to happen.
