Despite an early rush from Twitter (now X) escapees, Meta's Threads is not yet the new Twitter – and the lack of two key features is part of the reason why. Unlike most other social networks there's no search feature yet – and even more importantly, there's no way to post from the desktop unless you want to mess around with Android phone emulators. That's about to change.
The lack of desktop posting might not seem important. But one of the things that made Twitter so successful was that a huge number of its most entertaining and/or interesting users were posting during the day from their work computers.
