Fossil aims to be "for reading", and right now it punts thread display to your native app. So...

Some ideas, we could incorporate multiple of these:

Thinking about the interaction wtih algorithms — Breaking up a post into many threads gives it multiple points in embedding space. So if your thread talks about ADHD, social media and horses, having each of those concepts show up separately (at least once) might enable the entire thread to show up in multiple labeled clusters. I think that's a good thing.
