Rq: How to Mastodon (lemmy.sdf.org)

Be me.

Wanted to use the mastodon app instead of browser.

Later: Read Lemmy.

See a mastodon link.

Disagree with post, post my critique.

Want to see how my post is rendered.

Post list can't be sorted and has a weird order.

Scroll and realize that the majority is in agreement.

Post list so long, no way anyone can be expected to read up upon for context.

Feels like random thoughts dumping: Fire and Forget.

Is this how such platforms work? The author prompts something and random people interact with eachother - without a consens at the end of the post? Or am I missing something?

You're using a Mastodon app to access Lemmy? Yeah, it probably doesn't support Lemmy's tree comments. Mastodon is designed to be more like Twitter. If you want to use Lemmy, use a Lemmy client.

Sorry, not a native speaker.

Today I dipped into mastodon. I thought an app would aid explorability, it didn't.

I couldn't downvote - even after registration - so I made this post. Within lemmy I can disagree with a downvote if I strongly do so.

So I am serious if such platforms should only be read but engaged with. Because it was the most hostile website/app interaction I encountered since I am on the internet.

Some instances choose to disable downvotes. If you downvote a comment that originates from one of those instances, it will have no effect outside of your home instance.

It is already hard to discover appropriate instances to pick from but didn't spot any aggregator which prompts this instance property. If you can aid this I may reconsider using mastodon!
