Comment on we need more users

yeah, i’ve been thinking about the same thing. how to properly embed mastodon content into Lemmy? Maybe one community for each poster? Is that the right approach?
This is something I think whatever lemmy 2.0 is going to be really needs to focus on.
Just be a content aggregator for ALL of the fediverse. Everything. One feed.
Or maybe more clever ways of integrating. But right now, we’re still relying on video mostly from YT (not peertube) and screenshots of things happening on mastodon. We need more connective tissue.
yeah i think to meaningfully embed peertube, we’d probably have to copy the peertube video player into the Lemmy frontend/app.

Interestingly each community shows up kind of like a user in Mastodon.
I think hashtags should be communities but I can see from an ActivityPub POV that would be difficult to dynamically create. Worth while though.
It also makes sense that a mastodon user should kind of look like a community or a maybe user in Lemmy but I personally don’t like following people and much rather follow topics.

Maybe there’s only underlying posts and users to the fediverse, and the difference between Lemmy and Mastodon is mostly how they’re organized and presented in the feed
