Thinking more about this conversation,
I think this is a common use case:
- I want to predominantly see content from topics that interest me, and also content from people whose ideas interest me.
If Lemmy is designed to only do one half, and Mastadon the other, what is the intended usage for people like me? Is there a way to use Lemmy and Mastadon together to get this?
I thought that Lemmy was planning this functionality. For example if Lemmy had an extra “sort type” option of “New posts involving people I follow”, that would be perfect.
Oh that’s even better. Sounds really great actually for the user, thanks for explaining.
I’ve no idea how much of a headache it is for devs, depending on other people’s projects, on the quality of their software.
Its much easier than writing a whole interface for user following ourselves.
