I don't know if this is the better place to post this, but this is something annoying me in the fediverse, especially using/following Lemmmy and Mastodon profiles/communities.
I also don't know if this is being working on or else, but would improve federation a lot, at least in my view...
The thing is how Lemmy posts appear in my Mastodon timeline, shouldn't they be better? The posts instead of links should be the images of the post, and the replies, under the replies in Mastodon. I don't know if this possible... but would be more organized.
I posted a picture of what I imagine... the current form you can find in this link here
I #me (i@myself) myself am happy #delighted (delirious@happy) to not have comments #posts (comments@posts) that look like someone crashed #accident (carcrash@death) their car while typing #fuckoffandjusttypeanormalsentence
I don’t really care about the hashtags, I want more content. And properly federating with the biggest fediverse service seems an easy and eventually necessary step anyway for Lemmy.
Makes sense Mastodon and Lemmy use two different "languages" for posts.
I'm just spitballing here, but what if some instances had SSO for both Mastodon and Lemmy so you could do both ways of communication.
So Mbin?
Or kbin, which can put microblog posts on the frontpage
Mbin is a fork of kbin, created after kbin source code seems to be abandoned. Checked the source repository the last commit is more than a month ago, and the creator seems inactive now.
For most things, mbin should have the same features as kbin, and most likely better
The creator is not inactive, but may as well be as they're quite busy.
Mbin is undergoing a UI filter rewrite, which is blocking it from receiving many great features such as unread comments being marked and a combined view of threads and microblog posts.
I'm currently alternating between this mbin instance and kbin.social.
