Hello, some people have told me that it is possible to see lemmy posts from mastodon. To me it makes a lot of sense to have a single app for whole fediverse. However, mastodon is not doing a good job at this.
Each time I look at my mastodon home feed, it is spammed with completely random posts from lemmy which do not even show up in the organised view wefwef/memmy provide. Is there any way how to take care of this?
For lemmy I have found wefwef and memmy to be actually quite good. Interface is simple and easy to use, posts look organised. On mastodon it just feels far worse, especially with lemmy connected.
Are there any alternatives to the official mastodon app that would allow better integration with lemmy? To me it seems logical to have a single app for both platforms as they use the same principle.
Thanks! It's an interesting point you make about the user mistakes. Names are annoyingly important huh!
I'm on kbin.social, and the microblog page there just now seems to show posts from mastodon accounts that aren't using hashtags or tagging a community: https://kbin.social/microblog
For example: https://kbin.social/m/random/p/792477/Did-Twitter-remove-the-buttons-to-open-a-web-page
Scrolling down and this seems to be quite common on kbin.social .... ?
OK then I can see what's happening and there needs to be filtering added (and not just by magazine as it allows now).
I think it's putting into random microblog posts by anyone that any user followed. In fact, you can confirm it easily by scrolling down on my one while not logged in. I mentioned I only followed elonjet. And sure enough there's some posts by elonjet a bit further down, but otherwise it's just mastadon users tagging groups or kbin users making a mistake.
