Hey everyone!

So we’ve been trying our best to listen to members of the community on how we provide updates and information to you fine folks! To that end, we would like to welcome a new secondary, fedi-friendly avenue, Mastodon.

https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld

We will be posting updates here in ADDITION to our normal [email protected] community. As both a supplement to our Discord server and a place for the community to directly interact with us via micro-blogging.

We feel this opens up a few neat doors for sure to keep communication open and transparent.

See you there 😉

        I know RSS has been around basically forever, but I’ve never bothered to learn how to use them.

        What do I do with this rss link you provided? Is there n app or something to add this to that pushes alerts/notifications when there’s a new post or something?

      You should be able to follow it at @LemmyWorld, but I’m not sure how the interaction between Lemmy and Mastodon works for following users. They haven’t posted anything yet of course, so for now it’ll look empty.

      If you want to follow the account without being logged in to the fediverse at all, a good option is the RSS feed. :)

          I didn’t realize the @-link redirects you to the external site from Lemmy. The correct URL for you guys over there should be /u/username@server.io, which means that /u/[email protected] should be the correct path for Lemmy users. :)

            Thank you! Below is what I see when I click on that link. Is there a way to follow that account so that their posts show up on my feed?

              Oh dangit - you’re right. It seems not being able to follow users is a feature, not a bug in Lemmy, with the advice of the developer being to use Mastodon or kbin instead if you wish to do so. There’s a new issue open about it though, so hopefully they’ll give in to popular demand.

              Sorry for my misinformation! Since I don’t have an account over there I just assumed the follow button would appear once signed in. :/

        Probably just didn’t want to have to make yet another account

            I think the issue being taken is with how inconvenient making so many accounts can be. It’s the primary issue with the Fediverse. The expectation to make a new account whenever you want to/have to join a new instance is incredibly off-putting for many people.

        I have no aversion to it. I just don’t want to have to visit yet another site. It would be nice if it were consolidated to lemmy.world so that it just pops up on my feed rather than having to visit Mastodon on a regular basis.
