To be clear, lemmy.world isn't federating with Threads. They're taking the wait-and-see approach, which means that they'll make that decision later.
I'm not happy with that decision, but it is distinctly different from saying that they will federate with Threads.
According to Lemmy documentation, if they don't block a server, it means they are federating (aka talking using ActivityPub protocol) with that server.
It means Meta could in theory talking right now with instances not blocking them as part of their testing.
I don't know why they could not just block in the first place, then unblock/allow later if it makes sense.
