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 for the clarification! Appreciate it.

And yea, I was aware of the m/random feed and it being basically a global feed. I obviously wasn't clear on what exactly goes in there.

But, as someone who doesn't find the global/federated feed useful/interesting (and from polls I've seen, this is the same for most people), I don't think the microblog view would hold any value for me or most people for that matter.

Is a proper microblog feed on the road map?
