Following @lemmy was a bad idea. It’s literally every comment with subpar context. Which is fine, the mental models of twitter and reddit are different, after all.

@Compgeek absolutely. Or needs two things: filter lists (that’s mostly client side) to separate the toot stream (check up on often) vs however the subreddits on lemmy are called (check once in a while in bulk). And then you need a list of posts only from the former with an option to drill in.
I know, those are still different paradigms. It’s just weird that I can authenticate to so many things online as my google id and yet I must have different identities for the “federated” crowd.
Will be interesting to see where it lands!
I agree, I see you’re running your own instance, I’m holding off on that until something like SSO comes online for the Fediverse and I can run my own ‘identity server’ to log into whatever apps I wish.
‘Communities’ is the Lemmy term for subreddits, although I think it gets referred to as a ‘Group’ in Mastodon and a ‘Magazine’ in kbin. Early days I can tell, maybe as things get more established a unified language will emerge.
@Compgeek oauth for fediverse. Oh boy, that sounds like so much fun /s
Not an easy problem to solve by any stretch, which is why I assume core functionality is the focus before doing it, but better than the multiple persona issue we have at the moment.
In my early exploration I have 1 Lemmy and 1 Mastodon account, but all my eggs are in one basket should it go offline. If I wanted to have choice of even 2 instances for each service, I’m now looking at 4 ‘handles’.
Not a fun problem to solve, but long term it’s not a great problem to have. At least if I can run my own identity server I don’t need to trust a single entity outside of me with my online identity.
