I don’t know if this is the better place to post this, but this is something annoying me in the fediverse, especially using/following Lemmmy and Mastodon profiles/communities.

I also don’t know if this is being working on or else, but would improve federation a lot, at least in my view…

The thing is how Lemmy posts appear in my Mastodon timeline, shouldn’t they be better? The posts instead of links should be the images of the post, and the replies, under the replies in Mastodon. I don’t know if this possible… but would be more organized.

I posted a picture of what I imagine… the current form you can find in this link here

    Do you think is unrealistic? Why do you think Mastodon has political issues to make the necessary changes?

      Lemmy doesn’t seem to get much recognition in the wider Fediverse - it tends to get bundled as part of ‘other apps’. Mastodon is much bigger, so better integration with Lemmy probably gets deprioritised below their own issues and feature requests (e.g. I was reading today that Markdown support is often requested, but the base version still doesn’t have it)

      I can’t directly answer your question. I know very little about Mastodon, as I just recently made an account. However, from what I’ve seen with a variety of open-source projects, as well as the fediverse itself, it seems that group politics may often hamper the very projects “they” are trying to improve. I hope that people try to remain in the spirit of their projects, whatever they may be.
