Considering I can see him from kbin, it probably means he can't see us.

For now, the integration is a minor gesture, as it’s only a one-way connection from Threads to the Fediverse.
Could someone explain what this means? It it like he can see us but we can’t see him? I didn’t know the Fediverse / ActivityPub could work like that.

Opposite way around. We can see him but he can't see us.
The reason you can't see him is because you're on Lemmy which will only display microblog posts if they're (1) a reply to a Lemmy post, (2) made from kbin/mbin, or (3) replied to by someone from kbin/mbin (not entirely sure about this one).

To be clear, this is supposedly temporary and eventually it’s supposed to be bidirectional but I will be totally unsurprised if they “never get around to it”.

It would be pretty useless as it is. Even for them. Federation only really mattered for a few people (us), most of their userbase doesn’t care or know so its not like it was meant to be a hook to lead them in.

I would agree with your suspicion but it’s got to be said that their public statements are pretty clear: It is coming.
