@IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@Elilol this is wild to me because that’s literally one of the main things that federation enables 😭 haven’t explored much beyond the threadiverse i assume?
@IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds i’m actually not sure if Lemmy lets you follow users, weirdly enough (i know PieFed doesn’t), but it’s definitely possible to follow users from other types of fediverse software. i follow @Elilol from this Mastodon account, for example :3
PieFed actually gives you tons of options for following. I can follow users to get notifications when they post. I can subscribe to posts for when there are new replies. I can even subscribe to individual comments for when there are replies to those.
The only issue with PieFed, for now, is that you can’t currently follow and then see all of the posts from a Mastodon user. Only the replies/posts to a Community that can be seen on this side of the fediverse will show up in that case.
follow me so you dont miss out, Im determined to find that instance!
Didn’t know you can follow people in the fediverse. I’ll try

I don’t think it allows it, I’ll check later on my desktop.
But I need this conversation to stop. I feel like an old boomer asking kids to help me open my email.
