I can see that I can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon (just tried it out with a handful of communities), but I don’t see a way to have it work the other way.
There’s a few lovely people on Mastodon that post things I’d love to see pop up in my Lemmy feed - like @Curator@mastodon.art, for example. But I can’t figure out how to follow them from here?
@nutomic Is there willingness to consider adding support for following users (and perhaps hashtags too)? It would be a good interop feature. IMO one of the biggest selling points of the Fediverse is that I can follow users from PixelFed, Calckey, Lemmy, etc and have their content show up seamlessly in my feed; I can even interact with it. Not having this feature just seems like it cuts off Lemmy users from the majority of the Fediverse, unless they want to manage multiple accounts on multiple platforms.
Check out kbin.pub, it’s like lemmy but supports microblogs (mastodon-like). It’s not yet fully federated with Lemmy but will try to. I’m not a user though, just found about it today.
@Cougar I’m already familiar with kbin and I know they have that feature, but I think the platform is still in beta, so IDK if it’s ready for serious usage or not.
Good point!
