Basically as another channel. When a thread is spawned or someone comments on a thread (and checks the box to echo to channel) then you'll see a thread ID (which is usually three characters).

If you type /thread <3 chars> then weechat will open a buffer in the thread which makes it appear as if it's just another channel basically. Albeit with no name other than the randomly assigned 3 chars.
