How would you feel about Lemmy being able to pull in hashtags from the Fediverse? (lazysoci.al)

70 comments fedilink hide all child comments

So you could subscribe communities to hashtags and have it displays toots and pictures from that hashtag in the Lemmy UI

I'm not a fan of bots ripping content from Reddit. But these would be humans.

The content on Reddit is also submitted by humans (well, mostly).

You would just be adding a thread inclusive of replies. Unlike bots, toot authors also reply.

This assumes that a post pulled from Mastodon to Lemmy will also push comments from Lemmy back to Mastodon (or at least notifications of comments)... which is a real infrastructure problem, and also depends on the Mastodon communities wanting that interaction, and the admins allowing it.

Huh? This functionality is already in place and has been for a while.
