#mastodon #fediverse #omgwtf #lemmy

Ok, so I’m trial following @startrek and I’m getting a torrent(<a bit of hyperbole) posts in my home page. How do you people that follow hundreds/thousands handle this? Just ignore most of what flows down the page?

I’ve tried to be careful curating the people I follow, and it was fairly manageable til today. Trying to avoid setting up a lemmy acct, but StarTrek is only gonna get more active, and there’s more to life than StarTrek :^O How to manage?

      I mean, there’s also Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: …

    I would definitely just set up a lemmy account, since despite both using ActivityPub, the experience is fundamentally different between them. Posts -from- Mastodon look slightly weird here, but post -to- Mastodon appear as super boosted.

      Yeah I feel like the Lemmy to Mastodon experience is significantly better than the Mastodon to Lemmy experience. I hope Mastodon is able to implement a new feature to make that less awful for Mastodon users.

    I think you accidentally posted to startrek by including the URL in the message. The title here on Lemmy is “#mastodon #fediverse #omgwtf #lemmy”, lol

          I had looked into creating a post on lemmy from mastodon, and I read something that said it couldn’t be done. Proceeds to create a post on lemmy… :^S

          I guess I was reading outdated info :^D

          Lists do seem to work well for organization, but mastodon isn’t the best platform for lemmy. It works for limited use, but a dedicated lemmy account would be better.

    Mastodon is fundamentally different than Lemmy, despite sharing the ActivityPub protocol. I think you’ll end up getting every post and comment as a separate Mastodon post, which yes, would not be easy to manage. I would recommend unfollowing in Mastodon and creating an account on a lemmy or kbin instance.
