Can I see posts from mastodon users on Lemmy?
I know you can do the inverse and see Lemmy posts and comments in mastodon
I think if you put the URL of their profile into the search bar it will probably show up.
Edit: no, it’ll only show any comments that mastodon profile has made on lemmy.
hmm. i dunno if you can but it would make a lot more sense to do it that way. seeing Lemmy stuff on mastodon sucks because comments are individual and don’t make sense out of context.
That’s a shame. That’s why I was hoping it would work, I tried subscribing to Lemmy communities in mastodon and it worked but was a bit of a mess
Try out kbin, it’s geared for Lemmy and mastodon in one place.
Aww but I like the Ivory app :( I was hoping for the same thing others are here—subscribe to a Lemmy community and have posts show up in my Masto feed, then click to see comments.
It’s worth opening a GitHub issue for. Maybe it isn’t that hard to do. Might even look at the code myself to see…
Hrmm. Lets see. I’ve sub’d to @lemmy_support@lemmy.ml from my mastodon account. If this works, I should see THIS comment show up in my feed.
That definitely works. I was able to follow Lemmy communities from my mastodon account, but every comment on every post shows up in your timeline in chronological order so it fills up your feed fast, that’s why I was hoping the opposite worked and I could see posts from mastodon users inside Lemmy, but couldn’t get it to work
At the moment, you can’t subsribe to individual users on Lemmy, so there’s no way to really consume posts from Mastodon, but I am pretty sure if a Mastodon user replies to a Lemmy comment, it will be visible on Lemmy. Problem is, as Knighthawk points out, Lemmy threads are kinda unintelligible on Mastodon. I suspect this will improve with time.
Yeah it would be cool to be able to only have it show lemmy posts and not comments in your timeline, but that makes sense it’s not there yet. That seems like it would be a tall order development-wise
