Tried to follow a couple Lemmy communities from Mastodon, but it feeds you every post and comment, which gets unmanageable at any /c/ of reasonable size.
Is there a way that I can follow only the top-level posts from my Mastodon? Maybe I'm missing it.
@sharpsphere @Jdreben There's no way yet. I'm hopeful that a Lemmy or Mastodon updates adds some sort of flag for top level posts to allow them to be filtered.
As it stands, I just browse lemmy with my lemmy account, and then copy the link and paste it into my Masto instance if I want to comment.
Like I'm doing now!
@sharpsphere lmk if you find out because I'm having the same problem
I don't know if this will work, and I'm going to have to try it, but Mastodon has a feature when looking at someone's profile to ignore boosts. My understanding of how Lemmy federated to other platforms is that the comments appear as boosts by the community, so turning on that option might do what you want.
(This is also why I stopped following communities through Mastodon, but I only thought of the no-boost idea just now when I saw your comment!)
Edit: It doesn't seem to work. The top-level posts don't show up in Mastodon either, which makes sense, because now that I look at it again, they're also federated as boosts.
Finally! That's one of the things that's made it hard to deal with following a lot of people on Mastodon (to the point that I almost set up new alts just to categorize who I was following!)
Yeah despite being able to see communities and tops ok either platform, I have seperate lemmy and mastodon accounts for this reason. I want to keep forum style conversation seperate from a stream of toots.
I think I'll always prefer to maintain two accounts just for the flexibility, but if I could follow a stream of /c/ posts-only from my Mastodon, it would really simplify the process of sharing those posts to my mastodon folks.
Right now, unless I follow the firehose of an entire /c/, then sharing a post to Mastodon means I have to see it from my Lemmy account, copy the post link, rewrite the link to open on my Mastodon instance, open it, and then share it.
Yeah that sounds a little troublesome. Hopefully this is something that'll improve with time.
@sharpsphere @Jdreben I also noticed this about Lemmy, absolutely unusable on the microblogging side - there's gotta be a way to subscribe to posts only, not comments, in a #Lemmy community
