This question cant be answered exactly.

It depends on style and convention.

Best practices I know is to "keep your controller as skinny as possible" and have a "fat model" instead.

The Model should contain business logic and should be fully operational, but on an environment independent state. Which means for example, dont process HTML there. Just exchange defined data objects.

The controller is responsible to map all the urls to the right place and everything.

Finally the view transforms the data from the model into a form that the user can view (e.g. HTML).

Sometimes it is convention to exchange only data between view/controller or model/controller. I personally see no reason why not to let the model interact with the controller, it brings big advantages like pre processing of data etc.

So to drill it down to your question:

I think your controller should load the model and set the thread.

Then then controller should set the correct view in your presentation layer, which then fetches the posts from the model and dispalys them in a nice form.
