I am trying to figure out how people can subscribe to a Lemmy community or Lemmy thread?
It might be possible to see a community on Mastodon if you copy the link (example: https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support) and paste it into the search field on Mastodon and then you can hit subscribe and even activate the bell for notification.
But nothing happens if I do that.
Can someone confirm that it usually works like that, but it may be a problem of my Mastodon instance?
Is it possible to subscribe to threads, too, e.g. like this one here I wrote (without being the creator of a thread)?
I would really like to go public with my Lemmy instance, but if this doesn’t work, it’s a no-go.
Use kbin. I use both Mastodon (for twitterish style subscribing) and kbin (for redditish subscribing). None of em work well enough to do everything with just one app.
I don’t want to use kbin. I took a look at it and it was really cluttered.
Do you know by any chance if it’s possible to deactivate microblogging and magazine on your own instance?
You’re able to subscribe to communities by following them, but i don’t think you can follow threads. The posts show up as boosts (similar to retweets) on the community’s page.
I’ve figured out that the web client of my Mastodon instance has a bug and don’t show updates of subscribed lemmy communities. But it works if I log in over another client (like Android).
