Mastodon’s QR feature lets users quickly share any profile by tapping a QR icon next to the username in the Android app.
This generates a unique QR code that others can scan to instantly open the profile in their app or browser, making it much easier to connect-especially at events or in noisy environments.
Would a similar feature benefit Lemmy?

From my perspective Lemmy by far isn’t as user-centric as Mastodon. In Mastodon you mainly follow people whereas in Lemmy you subscribe to communities.
I just wrote almost the same comment with you xd
I up-voted your comment as well. ❤️
Serious question: Do people share their lemmy account with others irl?
Not even my closest friends and family know my username let alone random strangers. And I intend to keep it that way.Absolutely not. It’s the perfect, anonymous, community engagement that’s so great here.
I never did, but I also don’t know any other Lemmy user in person, so I guess it’s pretty pointless to share my profile.
To add to what have been said, instead of QR code for users, have it for communities instead. That’s what Lemmy/threadiverse is more built around.
I can’t see any reason why. Profiles on lemmy are not that important, you don’t have to follow anyone, communities are the center of everything.
No
Agreed. It’s a good question so glad they brought it up, but it’s not a good fit for Lemmy.
