Can't follow group posts only. When you follow a group/community in Lemmy you see all of the posts and replies made in that group (via automatic boosts), which can quickly clutter up your feed. I can't find a simple way to only show new posts and not all the replies. So now I mainly browse Lemmy on its own instance page and only drop into Mastodon to make replies and upvotes.
yeah, I tried following one Lemmy community through my Mastodon account once, and it was a nightmare with all the replies made in the community boosted out of context to my feed. and that was about 2 years ago, today it would be even more unbearable.
They are ordinary Mastodon posts that happen to be on Lemmy, you mean. Everyone on a thread getting tagged on every comment and hashtags aren't the Lemmy norm.
I've blocked most Mastodon posts on Lemmy, but it's not because they are "bad". Its just that if I wanted short-form social media, I would go to Mastodon directly.
