It wasn't automatic. Not sure where you got that idea. But you had to get the app and then sign in using your Instagram account to set up the thread profile. They had "shadow copies" of your Instagram profiles on threads so for example you could sub to someone's profile and when they'd join threads you'd get their activities. But no it wasn't automatic.
