or dare we say.... monorail?

Well, sir, there's nothing on earth

Like a genuine, bona fide

Electrified, six-car monorail

What'd I say?

Monorail

What's it called?

Monorail

That's right! Monorail

Bonkers.

No actually its because msgs "boosted" by the community will only be sent to your inbox post-follow, if that makes sense. For the same reason when you search for and sub to a community on one Lemmy instance to a comm. on another, it only gets the last few posts; but your instance will get all the ones that come after.

Essentially following a lemmy community is like a magazine subscription; you don't get all the previous ones retroactively, but you get all the ones that come after you subscribe/follow.

You can "follow" communities on a Lemmy instance just like a regular user.

Lets say we're talking [email protected] (and the federation isn't bork).

Search for @[email protected] in Mastodon and (if the federation isn't bork) it should find the community as a user and you can follow.

Followed communities in Mastadon:

  • all posts and comments show in an amorphous stream as individual toots -- depending on what interface you use it could be just random toots or they're displayed threaded
  • they all show as boosts from the community "user"... which if you think about it, that's all a community does - it reboots all posts and comments-on-posts to all subscribers of the community.

I mean don't get me wrong. Cable cars are cool.

But heckaspensive. And in this case completely unnecessary.

Ridiculous. The YR #20 bus goes right there from Vaughan Metro center along Jane every 20 minutes. If they were serious about this they could just have two dedicated bendy-busses criss-crossing each other on the route, its only 10minutes.

oh hey - that works: https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]

Problem is I can't change the URLs above for everyone, there's no concept of a wildcard e.g. https:///c/[email protected]

Plus, if your instance hasn't already sub'd to the remote community, will that trick even work?
