Is there, or is there going to be, a way to “follow” Lemmy users apart from subscribing to communities?
You must log in or # to comment.
On Piefed you can follow specific users and get notifications for when they do posts.
Not comments though. Although that seems a bit… obsessive if that is what you might want.
There’s no way to follow Lemmy users on Lemmy, though ironically, you can follow Lemmy users on Mastodon.
You can also follow a user’s RSS feed. The URL format is: https://HOSTNAME/feeds/u/USERNAME.xml?sort=New
Thanks. I’d not want to add a 3rd thing, RSS, into the mix, so following from Mastodon might be a workaround. Ideally, I would “follow” in Lemmy itself!
Following a user is more like Mastodon than Lemmy, you might wanna use Mastodon in the case I think
True, I am looking for “get threads boosted by this account”. If Mastodon did threads well, I would have stayed on it. I wouldn’t care for it at all if I could also “follow” accounts on Lemmy (and the accounts that matter were on Lemmy).
Piefed has feeds and topics.
