A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@DJDarren Lemmy communities seem to be treated like users on the Mastodon side of things, so you can just input @ username @ domain (minus the spaces) into Mastodon's search bar and follow them like normal. The posts then get boosted into my feed where I can reply to them like any other Mastodon post. There does seem to be a warm-up period if you happen to be the first person on your Mastodon instance to follow a community, but once that's done I've found the interop to be reliable.
Does this work the other way around? Can you follow Mastadon users through Lemmy?
not that i'm aware of currently, no, which is really irritating. it's apparently in the pipeline but this is an ill-suited time to gain such an influx of people without that, lol
That's a shame. I like this interface a lot more than Mastadon. I never really got into twitter.
