Yeah, but even though that is cool I'm not sure how well that will scale when Lemmy picks up lots of users.
From a Lemmy users perspective: You have a cool link that you wish others get to see. To post it you need to pick a group where it fits in. It might not be the groups you normally hang in. Or it is, and the group might have 100's (in the future maybe 1000's) of contributors and the group stream is moving rather fast.
From another Fediverse service: That Lemmy group you started following is flooding your home stream as it is really active. Sadly you also published a Lemmy post in a group you don't normally hang in, but you now have to follow to be able to boost your own post in it to the further Fediverse.
I can imagine how that quickly creates both noise and scalability issues.
I imagine that's why following users is planned eventually.
