A button to ad threads to "My Threads" without having to make a post. That way threads aren't full of people saying "threads!"

In a way, being only posting "threads!" is good because it bumps a thread at least decent enough for people wanting it to be in their threads. If they have nothing to say but still like the thread, the thread could very easily get ignored and die.
They may or may not post in it again, which makes it different than a "threads" button because pressing the button doesn't mean they'll necessarily come back to it later and post in it.
Similarly, if I'm just skimming through a thread and see a bunch of "threads" comments, I'll at least know its a better thread than those that half the comments consist of something along the lines of "OP is autistic."
IF a "threads" button were to be put in place, a counter of how many people have clicked it would be necessary.

Being only - people* (autocorrect). Sorry, I'm on mobile and need to go to bed.
