I have both a Mastadon and Lemmy account (actually two) as well as a kbin account so I’m fine with having several. It’s interesting to see the interconnectivity of the two platforms. I’d love to see more of this.

      Yea. It’d be nice if only top level posts came through. And then, for comments to come through, you relied only on replies and following particular users.

      The issue though, I think, is that mastodon has no backfill mechanism. So there’s no way to get a lemmy post in your feed, and then opt in to seeing all of the comments. It’s the same thing that leads to “reply-guy” replies on mastodon, where people reply with the same statement because they can’t see each other’s replies. At some point, I think we have to just start talking about how mastodon is in some ways a bit shit.

      Still, I think my suggestion above would be better. Would it be possible for lemmy to adjust its federation for that?

      Yes. It completely took over my home timeline doing this.

      We desperately need more fine grained control.

        Would it make sense to have a separate aggregator app, that focuses on aggregating data from different ActivityPub apps into a single feed, so that those apps can focus on their core competencies?

    In the mastodon search bar, enter the URL of the post/comment you want to reply to. It will show up in mastodon as a post once searched.

    Note: if you’re replying to a comment or thread, you must include the community you’re posting in and the username you’re replying to into your reply or else Lemmy will not nest the threads correctly.
