Hard to follow #lemmy posts from Mastodon. I decided to follow @nostupidquestions to try it out and each comment that someone posts shows up as a boost and only sometimes is threaded. Time to check out #kbin.

    It always seemed like a dubious integration to me, done because it could be done and not really because it made sense. Even if they federate using the same protocol, they are different applications. I don’t think it hurts, but yeah, the best way to follow and engage with federated microblogs will be via federated microblog software, and the best way to engage with federated link aggregation/forums will be federated link aggregators.

    Though I suppose kbin is attempting to support both fully with separate workflows, so that might turn into a decent all-in-one solution.
