@news whomever runs the News bot, could you please stop boosting every single reply to every last post? I only want to see the initial News posts in my feed, not all of the replies.
Boy, it would sure be funny if users decided to just spam this thread with multiple replies about how it’s not a bot thing but just the way Mastodon works with fediverse threads.
Following Lemmy on Mastodon is a truly terrible idea. If you subscribe to a community here on Mastodon, you will get every post in every thread. Your Masto feed will be an unreadable pile of out-of-context garbage. There’s no over-zealous bot. That is just how it works.
Kbin allows you to use both Lemmy and Mastodon but doesn’t crowbar them into the same feed. That might be your best bet.
Stands to perfect reason. Lemmings are essentially large rodents, mastadons are essentially large elephants, elephants don’t get along with mice, mastadons don’t get along with lemmings. Science!
Ahhh. See, I didn’t realize the “@news” I was following on Mastodon was actually a Lemmy group. I though it was specific to Mastodon, and expected it would be a news repeater/aggregator. Didn’t know it would also include all responses to the news posts.
It goes with a larger confusion on my part about how Mastodon works, I guess.
that’s not a news bot, that’s an issue with Lemmy federation. you can create a GitHub ticket for Lemmy or sign up for Lemmy and browse it there, federation really isn’t the best for following posts and/or communities.
