Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?

  As for the posts outside communities? That makes sense lemmy-wise I think. Where would those posts be?

  I actually think it’s quite straightforward, they’d just be on a users page. This is actually how Reddit has also done it ever since they introduced the feature (much before they enshittified everything else).

  You can think of it like every users profile being a community of its own but only the user itself can post to it. Just conceptually speaking.

  That would also let you follow users just as you can follow communities.

    Not gonna lie, I’d love for better integration between services, but I am fairly sure I saw lemmy devs adamantly insisting they’re following apub and mastodon is doing it wrong so 🤷

      Its not that anyone is “doing it wrong” and Mastodon doesn’t really support Lemmys communities either. So Lemmy works in a bit of a funky way that doesn’t match most other fediverse services.

      Its just a bit strange that Lemmy does not support the more common posts outside communities since that is how most of the fediverse works, so we’re kinda missing out on a lot of content that we can’t see on Lemmy.

      This is the FEP Lemmy uses but most other fediverse services do not use it and Lemmy does not support anything that doesn’t use this FEP. So again, it’s not that Lemmy is doing something wrong, but Lemmy is not supporting how most of the rest of the fediverse functions.

        OK, so is lemmy out of standard or not? Like I can understand why lemmy doesn’t support apub notes, as it’s out of scope, but why does mastodon support articles badly?
