The main activity on Lemmy happens in group discussions, I believe personal feeds will occupy only a very minor part of Lemmy content. So, is there even a distant theoretical need in such personal feeds federation?
This is true. I still do think there is a need for personal feeds following, so that lemmy users can subscribe to the rest of the fediverse, which is all currently person-based, and not group based. You might still want to see posts from peertube, or pixelfed for example show up in your feed.
Oh, I see a need now - you will be able to repost an interesting Mastodon post, or a Peertube video etc. to a community of your interest. Makes sense then.
I’m not totally sure if they show up in your reddit feed or not. You can even pin posts tho: https://www.reddit.com/user/gallowboob
