Looks like this. Threads count indicator badge added at the end of the sentence? 🤔

Screenshot of Threads post by 'hashtagheyalexa' discussing the new feature on Threads app that automatically labels threaded posts with a #|# symbol. The user finds it convenient, notes it's currently only available on desktop, and appreciates that the numbering updates if the thread is added to.

My own test thread https://www.threads.com/@cheeaun/post/DNW7Q46TKL5

Seems like the badge doesn't appear for "forks" of threads 🤔

Screenshot of my posts on Threads, showing posts about automatically labeling threaded posts with numbers.

For context, here's a quite-meta screenshot of the same feature on #PhanpySocial

Notes:
- Threads has the advantage of doing this in the back-end, so it knows the current index and total count of threads immediately.
- Their UI is smaller, doesn't show the copy 'Thread', probably assuming users automatically understand what the badge means. Not sure why they push the badge at the end of the post sentence.
- They also show the badge on the Post page. #PhanpySocial only show it on the timeline.
