Following communities from has gotten much better

Version 19.4 introduced automatic hashtag-ing (see https://lemmy.ml/post/16585416)

Posts get federated with a hashtag matching the community name.

The important bit is that comments to posts don't get the tags.

Which means you can follow the corresponding tag on mastodon and get a feed only of posts.

EG:

If you're starting a community, giving it a unique enough name could help prevent overlap too.

@maegul @fediverse Will not adding community to an exclusive list hide it from hashtags too?

@maegul @fediverse Working as intended. Thanks.

Hope usable direct following for lemmy from Mastodon come soon.

Otherwise this method is fine too.
