Mastodon (microblogging, follow users) and Lemmy (forum, follow topics) cater to different kinds of users. I don’t subscribe to personalities, I subscribe to discussion topics, that’s why I’m on lemmy and not mastodon.

Yeah, there's no need for that weird parasocial shit.
That's not a bug, it's a feature. If you want to follow users, use Mastodon or something.
Wat
What?
Well, I can only speak for myself, I'm not here to follow users but communities.
And if someone wants to follow me I'd see it as kind of annoying for them seeing all the different topics I post and comment instead of something focused.
IMO the ability to see Mastodon interactions in Lemmy and vice-versa is quite annoying since they use the same protocol for different experiences.
Yup. Following a user is creepy as fuck
How is this sad, or a story?
https://fedia.io/ handles both
It's mbin, that's what I'm saying...
On the other hand mbin doesn't have apps. I guess people are prioritizing this over micro blogging
What about the app interstellar?

Not great, but "it's working" at least
