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?

    Microblog (No real Reddit equivalent)

    You can write on your own user profile in reddit, I’d say is the equivalent to Microblog

    Let’s say you are /u/BaldProphet on Reddit

    You go to your profile, click on “Write new post” and this post will not appear in any subreddit, but only in your own profile. It will appear on the feed on people following you and people who enter in your profile can read and reply those posts

    This feature is mostly used in NSFW profiles (people self-promoting their onlyfans)
