I know that communities don’t translate well to Mastodon, I just find it a little odd how it seems to be a firehose of all comments in a community when viewed in Mastodon. I was expecting it to “repost” posts submitted to the community and have comments in the replies to those posts. Just something odd I was thinking about.
The automatic hashtags in lemmy since v 19.4 makes it much easier.
See a quick post from me on it here: lemmy.ml/post/17563476
Is this a setting? I’m not seeing it for all posts/comments when I check from mastodon.
Only available on Lemmy from 0.19.4, you might be seeing posts from servers using a previous version
Indeed, definitely not ideal
Off topic: why are you on sopuli this week?
Reddhat has a few speed issues since version 0.19.5, sopuli is faster. I really hope I’ll be able to get back to Reddthat, but for the moment I’m here
Whose responsibility is it to thread comments? Lemmy or Mastodon?
I think it’s entirely on mastodon.
They don’t have a “subscribe” mechanism. Only following. And so everything coming from a group like a lemmy community looks like it’s coming from someone you follow, so you see all of their posts.
The alternative, which is also a general problem on mastodon, is that you wouldn’t be able to see any of the comments at all, because you’re not following the users making them.
Is there a likelihood that mastodon will change things?
This thread would’ve been better on ML where it’s in the developers line of sight
This needs to be fixed by Mastodon developers, and I doubt they browse Lemmy.
Thanks for jumping in
Meh better of not posting to ml

It is definitely strange to be on a small server. I’ll be like, “wow! This post has 67 likes!” Meanwhile if I view it from a large server it will actually be 1.4k

So does that mean that it’s unusable to host an instance on mastodon just for yourself?

That’s exactly why I don’t like Mastodon.

So what’s the solution in regards to threading comments rather than having them as top level toots?
nutomic@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
Mastodon would have to implement support for this.

Use Lemmy to read Lemmy, unless Mastodon implements threading (which they probably won’t).
