I subscribed to !news at . . . well it probably does not matter. I receive the news the moderators are posting there, but also every single boosted comment anyone makes on the news stories as separate inane postings on my mastodon feed(!) That can't be the way to run a railroad! Can comment reposting be disabled by moderators or can it be suppressed by users? Because othewise, the news feed subscription is a poison pill to my fediverse-based feed.

that IS unfortunate. Ok, I unsubscribed. I wrote to the mods at !news@beehaw.org, but many of the boosts are by random users, so nothing to be done I guess. I think it will be an issue that should not be forgotten - should I explain to anyone particular that you know?

I don't think that there's anything that we can do at the moment. Mastodons is still developing their group feature, which uses the same protocol that Lemmy uses to have communities. This will hopefully resolve the problem in the future. Then a Lemmy community can be shown as a mastodon group in mastodon.
