Comment on The Verge - The fediverse, explained
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 11 months agoYeah, that’s why Reddit was the only platform I ever got into. And now Lemmy.
Obviously a post on Lemmy will look like a Lemmy post, but the interoperability is kinda cursed when you look into how it actually ends up working.

Yeah did ten years on Reddit, nothing else but early FB which I deleted after the algo took over.
They can post here then, I’m fine with that. If they can’t see my comments that’s fine as well. Lemmy is great, I don’t need more.

Oh I’m not against the interoperability, the opposite, I want it to be better.
Comments do work.
Right now it’s really convoluted and I’ve seen people accidentally post to lemmy while thinking they were just pinging a user, when it actually was a community.
And following communities from mastodon is a mess because they obviously then fill the feed with way more posts than a single person would. And they all look like they’re posted by the user/community instead of the actual user that posted them TO that community. Not to mention they don’t see votes and have to no good way to sort community content, except chronologically.

That is a mess! If they do sort it out it will increase engagement, and that’s no bad thing. Interesting times ahead.
