Lemmy/Mastodon experience (feddit.dk)

Currently, it is possible to follow both Lemmy users and communities from Mastodon.

When you follow a user, all their posts and comments show up as posts on Mastodon.

When you follow a community. The community boosts all posts and comments made in the community.

I think it would work better, if for users, only posts showed up as posts and comments showed up as replies (meaning unlisted).

For communities, I think it would be better if only posts were boosted and not all the comments.

It is possible to find the comments by clicking on the post on Mastodon, so the comments would still be visible.

As it is now, following something from Lemmy from Mastodon is a noisy experience. I think it would be a lot better if only posts were boosted and shown as posts :)

I hope this is the right community to share this. If not, where can I share this ?

Have a nice day :)

For this you would need an app (could be a web app) which lets you interact with lemmy as a mastodon user. The problem here is the UI and the format of the data. Currently format is something can't really help.

But find a UI app which lets you comments and follow through any mastodon/lemmy instance and display posts in lemny style.
