If you want to create a thread on Mastodon or other Fediverse platforms:
1. Publish the first part of the thread as a post
2. Reply to your post with the second part
3. Reply to your previous reply with the third part etc.

Some mark their threads with a 
symbol and/or number the thread "1/5" or "1/X" so people can keep track of which page they are on.
To see the thread that a post comes from, just click on the post.
When I create a thread, I always reply to the first post with every reply.
So I (and especially the readers) have the entire thread together in one view.
When I reply to the following post, the post and one answer are displayed. To read the thread you have to click again and again.
I don't think so?
That would make threads difficult to view for most people?
If you're replying directly to the first post with each reply, anyone clicking on a reply will have most of the thread hidden.
"When I reply to the following post, the post and one answer are displayed. "
What are you using to view Mastodon?
For example I created this thread by chaining together a series of replies:
https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows/113261775076842449
It displays in full for me, does it not display in full for you?
You're not the first person to suggest this!
I am wondering if there is (or was?) a bug on some app somewhere which causes/caused problems on threads, and replying to the first post was a workaround for that bug?
@FediTips Yes, maybe.I'm pretty sure, I once saw, when I clicked on a reply, in the middle of a thread, only seeing that post and a reply.
Thank you for the clarification.
Good night (in Germany it is 10 pm).
