Following @lemmy was a bad idea. It's literally every comment with subpar context. Which is fine, thr mental models of twitter and reddit are different, after all. (hdev.im)

@Compgeek absolutely. Or needs two things: filter lists (that's mostly client side) to separate the toot stream (check up on often) vs however the subreddits on lemmy are called (check once in a while in bulk). And then you need a list of posts only from the former with an option to drill in.

I know, those are still different paradigms. It's just weird that I can authenticate to so many things online as my google id and yet I must have different identities for the “federated” crowd.

Will be interesting to see where it lands!

I agree, I see you’re running your own instance, I’m holding off on that until something like SSO comes online for the Fediverse and I can run my own ‘identity server’ to log into whatever apps I wish.

‘Communities’ is the Lemmy term for subreddits, although I think it gets referred to as a ‘Group’ in Mastodon and a ‘Magazine’ in kbin. Early days I can tell, maybe as things get more established a unified language will emerge.
