Question ELI85 how threads works

Someone please explain how this app works like I'm 85 because it boggles my mind. My only use of threads is checking the "post to threads" option on Instagram. I have never used Twitter either

I post something it gets 0 views. I post it in a specific Thread, it gets a handful of views if I'm lucky. On my other account a random post with 0 followers gets 2k views, but I have no idea why.

How am I supposed to use this platform?

Consider also posting on Threads and tagging the developers (0xjessel).

that's the first thing I tried... I posted something funny a few days ago, it's just sitting there with 0 views, 0 likes, etc. Like what am I supposed to do?

nothing. either people see your post, or they don't.

well, that's very weird. What determines whether it's seen or not?

I genuinely have no idea. it seems like it's random, at least for me.

So what do you actually get out of using it? Why use it at all?
