ActivityPub magic?

So you can tag Lemmy communities from Mastodon like @tech and it just makes a new thread on Lemmy?

My imagination is a bit small, so I’m not seeing the immediate utility of this. How do you vote/downvote? How do you subscribe to a community? Those interfaces aren’t present on Mastodon.

      @SabreMc @dipolecat @tech I think that may be a technical limitation, so the best you could do really is have a “True Follow” list and treat that as your home timeline. Federated servers can’t practically separate “Follow” from “Add to a list” since both intentions need to tell other servers you want to subscribe to an account. I could be wrong about that though.

        @bristle @SabreMc @tech It would be possible on a technical level for “home” to be a list that new follows are added to by default but can be removed from. Something like that would make lists much more useful, at least to me.
