Hi!

In the Apollo app (basically the reason i started using reddit and the reason i also left reddit lol) there was a very useful feature: friends.

It was not a mutual friendlist like facebook, and not even much of a follow like twitter; it was more a ''favorite users'' list.

Basically I added in there people that always commented stuff I was interested in and this helped me find new communities and interesting post without relying on other discovery ways. Seen the decentralized nature of lemmy, i think it could be even more useful than on reddit.

I don't know if this is helpful or not, but you can do this on Sync for Lemmy. As a test, I just added you as a favourite and now you appear in my Favs list alongside my chosen top communities.

However I don't know if there's any way to create a feed consisting of all favourited people's posts, which would be more useful IMO than having to check each individual favourited person. Will have a go and see if I can find a way.

EDIT: Couldn't see a way to do it unfortunately, but have started a thread on the Sync community to see if anyone knows how.

Given that you can add Lemmy users in Mastodon / Friendica I think you can follow them from an account on any of those. Lets see as I follow my Lemmy account on friendica.

It could be nice.
In the meantime, since I use lemmy in a browser, bookmarks work OK for this purpose.

I know that Thunder lets you "label" users so you can recongize them more easily, and I think you can find a list of labeled users somewhere in the app, too.
