@lemmy I just realized that you can submit posts to any lemmy community from any mastodon / fediverse account. This is pretty cool!

@BrooklynMan yeah, this is pretty awesome. The only big thing I'm struggling with is that the community account, as seen from Mastodon, boosts absolutely everything... all comments, in any order, not just top level posts.

yeah, from what i understand, mastadon doesn't provide the best UX for browsing lemmy. but it works if you need to use it.

@BrooklynMan while I realize that it sometimes doesn't make sense to care too much for how mastodon users see things, maybe there's some way top posts and comments can be distinguished so that we can filter them out. But I do understand that there's limitations and it's a reasonable compromise.

Seems to me that only OPs should be boosted and you would open the post to see comments. I just learned the same thing today and hit that same barrier. I dont want my home timeline filled to the brim with every single reply
