The current functionality of the #Lemmy platform requires users to utilize their #Mastodon accounts to follow other Lemmy users, which differs from the approach taken by platforms like #mbin. This limitation can be seen as an inconvenience for those who prefer a more integrated user experience within Lemmy itself.
Mastodon (microblogging, follow users) and Lemmy (forum, follow topics) cater to different kinds of users. I don’t subscribe to personalities, I subscribe to discussion topics, that’s why I’m on lemmy and not mastodon.
Yep! I feel the same way!
Yeah, there’s no need for that weird parasocial shit.
