I’ve always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I’m just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.

I look at them separately because I haven’t figured out how to do it from one to the other.

Same here. If there’s a Handy tutorial anyone would suggest to get familiar with those abilities I’d love to hear about them.

You can follow communities from Mastodon with format @lemmings@lemmings.world (ie replace the exclamation mark with an @). It’s a miserable experience though. It’s better to follow communities using Lemmy or Kbin (I’m not sure if Calckey works better).

Yeah. I followed the Technology community and it’s a mess on Mastodon. Replies all show up on the Home feed and there’s no context. I have to click on the comment then scroll all the way up to see the original post.

I wonder why they don’t differentiate between a comment and a thread? They have that capability in Mastodon.

Mastodon or some party should really improve the interfacing between these services at some point really.
