A sad story... Follow a lemmy user

The current functionality of the platform requires users to utilize their accounts to follow other Lemmy users, which differs from the approach taken by platforms like . This limitation can be seen as an inconvenience for those who prefer a more integrated user experience within Lemmy itself.

How is this sad, or a story?

I had originally hoped to use my Mastodon account to follow Lemmy communities but the fact that every single comment on a post pops up in my feed made it... just really unusable. Really happy with using for Lemmy though and keeping my Mastodon and Mbin separate.

Mastodon (microblogging, follow users) and Lemmy (forum, follow topics) cater to different kinds of users. I don’t subscribe to personalities, I subscribe to discussion topics, that’s why I’m on lemmy and not mastodon.

Yep! I feel the same way!

Good - thought I was the only one who saw little value in following a person on Lemmy.

That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. If you want to follow users, use Mastodon or something.
