So when is Lemmy going to support following users? Seems like a major missing feature to me.
This has been long discussed and deemed part of a problem space that Lemmy isn't meant to solve. So probably never.
But there are Fediverse apps like Friendica or Mbin that support both, and it lookes like Pixelfed is going to sooner or later support the reverse, i.e. subscribing to Lemmy based groups.
I don't understand this mentality. Reddit allows this, and it seems like it wouldn't require much retooling of anything.
Sure, I could move to these other services but I don't want to leave the slrpnk community. While I'm increasingly frustrated with the state of Lemmy and particularly the devs, our instance is still great.
No ones stopping anyone from doing it, its just hard and not a priority
