  • Oh I’m not against the interoperability, the opposite, I want it to be better.

    Comments do work.

    Right now it’s really convoluted and I’ve seen people accidentally post to lemmy while thinking they were just pinging a user, when it actually was a community.

    And following communities from mastodon is a mess because they obviously then fill the feed with way more posts than a single person would. And they all look like they’re posted by the user/community instead of the actual user that posted them TO that community. Not to mention they don’t see votes and have to no good way to sort community content, except chronologically.



  • Good! But it definitely didn’t back when I implemented it in Thunder half a year ago.

    And the way I want it to work is the way it did in Relay. The button dismisses currently loaded read posts, but scrolling further will still load in read posts, and refreshing brings them all back.

    They don’t get permanently hidden, nor do you need to untoggle a setting to see them again next time you refresh.

    Is that how Voyager does it?



  • So it does! I didn’t find it when I tried it, I guess.

    But if one doesn’t want to pay to rid Sync of ads, Thunder is an open source, free, actively developed alternative. It’s still not feature complete, but I’ve been happily using it since I hopped over from reddit. And contributed a good few features myself, like user and community sidebars.

    The next update will include my work on an indicator that shows if and how many new comments a post you’ve already visited has received since you last opened it (like in the webUI). And some other guys on the team have gotten notifications implemented.


  • ATM, you can’t. Normal mastodon posts are not understood by lemmy servers. They don’t know how to handle content that is not associated with a community.

    Most of the fediverse is like twitter. Users making posts to their own “microblogs”/profiles, following each other or browsing a timeline of all posts by everyone. That’s mastodon, and it has by far the most activity.

    Lemmy doesn’t support profile posts, and you can’t follow users, only communities.

    Basically, all content on Lemmy is posted to groups, while all content on Mastodon is posted to the users own profiles. While the networks are technically connected, the content type is not compatible.

    I hear mastodon is getting support for groups, though, which might be something that can be interoperable with lemmy communities. Then they could look at communities as if they were user groups, and post to them, and we could sub to mastodon user groups, and see their posts and feeds as if they were communities.

    But until Lemmy implements support for “user” posts and “user” following, we won’t see the majority of content of that type, coming from mastodon.

    There’s already some funky interoperability that comes from the underlying structure of communities kind of being user accounts, where mastodon users can follow Lemmy communities, and post to communities by mentioning them. But it’s not pretty.
