Lemmy will never have a follow system, they closed the issue on github saying it doesn't fit the vision and would be hard to implement because of the resources it would take (but if someone does it in they would add it), mbin does? Could be wrong haven't used it much due to no ios app. might eventually get an ios app that supports some hacky following list using rss feeds (still going off the github comments, idk how any of this works)

For now, that doesn't seem to be the case, but at least we can receive likes and comments from them.

Could you explain what you mean by this?

They didn't see the groups, but can follow us as users and like and comment anything we post.

So you're saying I should be consuming this content from Mastodon for better UX? AND I get one less acct/app to manage?

(As someone who has sold federated identity tech,) this is what I thought the Fediverse was supposed to be about all along.

When Lemmy came into my life, I couldn't understand why my Fosstodon identity didn't work.

So, if I'm understanding you correctly, Mastodon users can see us individual users as a Mastodon useer? Do they have to use a bridge software like bluesky's bridge or is it automatic?

Calling it a "Lemmy/Mastodon bridge" sounds off, it's like saying "Gmail/Outlook bridge" when discussing the sending of emails between the two.

I'd use the word "interoperability" instead, or maybe "interaction" for something slightly less technical.

Could you give a short guide on how to use it, and what the limits are? A link would be cool too :)

It would be really neat to have a unified mastodon/Lemmy client

That was the idea behind kbin and it's current fork mbin. Not really sure about any progress on that front.

RIP Kbin

I would love to follow communities and only see the posts but when you do, you see every single comment making it impossible to follow a community from there :(
