I’m also not sure the interface is quite right. There are maybe use cases where subscribing to a lemmy community or kbin magazine might make sense in Mastodon, but most of the time that feels like a weird use-case. It feels like I want to subscribe to my own feed of people who reply to me, then I could reply to them from Mastodon (except there’s no real link between my identities, which is messy)
Yeah absolutely, plus there’s lots of space for new entrants with different ideas for what a hybrid platform might look like. Some of them will surely be terrible but maybe there’s a magical do-it-all solution that we just haven’t imagined yet.
Not having to recreate the community from scratch makes it so much easier for technologies to emerge
