Following @lemmy was a bad idea. It's literally every comment with subpar context. Which is fine, the mental models of twitter and reddit are different, after all, but it's (hdev.im)

I'm not 100% sure about the terminology ... Are you subscribed to the community in Lemmy? Are you following the community on another fediverse service? Are you following the community through the RSS?

@Edo78 I’ve followed @lemmy over mastodon. I guess that's the second case?

Interesting. I just tried to follow a lemmy user in mastodon because I can't find a way to follow a lemmy user in lemmy itself. I'd never thought to subscribe to a whole community from mastodon and judging from your experience I was right. To me it's better to subscribe to a lemmy community in a lemmy instance this way all the contents are given a better structure
