Actually in Lemmy you can. And yes it can cause issues. Some software handles this but it apparently (used to? Still does?) causes issues with Mastodon.

No. Lemmy doesn't support following people. Best you can do is mention them and they'll get your ping. Or DM them.

Try following the communities first.

Not sure if it works for more than one community at a time, but maybe it does?

Both! If you notice this thread was made by a Mastodon account.

Your communities? Like ones you run?

It won't make a difference where you move to, you'll be accessing the same communities.

!linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works is still the same community with all the same posts whether you're on Lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, or piefed.social. Are you sure you're looking at the most active community? Sometimes people make a community with the same name as one that exists, but usually people flock to the established one.

Check out https://lemmyverse.net/communities for a good site to find communities. You can click the house icon in the top and set it to lemmy.world so that clicking the links takes you there on Lemmy.world.

It's a federated service like Lemmy, but built to be a Twitter clone instead of reddit.

Yes, the title looks fine here.

No, but you can help!

Actually since Lemmy is smaller you'd be surprised how much traction you can still get from a post in a small community. People browse by All a lot and it still shows there.

Thanks, I'll check it out! I've heard it mentioned I didn't realize it was from China.

Actually since it's a translation anyway maybe I'll go for the Spanish edition and work on my Spanish lol

How's Chinese SciFi?

Uhh isn't this exactly what we need before the primaries?

Everytime someone would point out how shitty some of these Dem candidates are we are told "save it for the primaries". Well here we are.
