We don't need to do anything. They simply can't. ActivityPub is designed that way.
This is unfortunately wrong. ActivityPub is designed much like email is. Yet virtually everybody uses Gmail and the standards Gmail enforces apply to everybody else through network effects.
This really is one of the impending problems. Threads will introduce 'feature creep' and Lemmy, kbin, and whatever else comes along will have to adopt those features or be seen as incomplete and inadequate. Hopefully they won't let Meta have a hand in revising the ActivityPub standard.
But the deluge is coming first. For poetic reasons, I really hope they federate in September.
