My take in this would be the following: It is simply a different paradigm, focusing on a different approach to engagement.

On Lemmy, you follow communities (topics) and you are supposed to be interested in what happens in the world regarding that topic. In Mastodon, you follow mostly users, content creators, people (yes, you can follow hashtags, too). You are not interested in open source (a community/topic) in general, rather, you are interested in what particular your favourite developer is currently working on, and so on. You either want both of these worlds, so you make an account on Lemmy to follow topics that interest you within a UI optimized for that. And you create a Mastodon account to follow those specific people.

Alternatively, you use only one platform and follow the content from the other platform, too, but in a UI that is not optimized for such type of content. It all depends on what are you comfortable with and what do you enjoy.

Can you maybe use PWA of Lemmy on your phone?

If you want two separate sliders, you can create an issue for it at Jerboa GitHub repository. I consider this a sound feature to have.

Same here. I would describe your situation and create a new issue (unless it already exists) at Jerboa GitHub repository.

Glad it works for you now. Have fun exploring.

At the bottom of the app, you see a bar with icons: home, three lying exclamation marks, envelope, bookmark, person. The second one, the three lying exclamation marks, is a community search button which takes you to a simple UI with communities listed and a search prompt at the top.

I agree. And I got you with the meaning of bad news. I would say it is the right approach. Cannot talk for others, though. Thank you for extending the fediverse.

That sounds nice. Yeah, I agree with how you see the community goals.

Thinking about it now, I might not be the only one without a clear understanding of which topics should I post to which community. If I were you, I would probably even explain the difference in the community sidebar where the link to [email protected] community is with something like:

General Pixelfed discussion community: [[email protected]](https://lemmy.ml/c/pixelfed) 

If this is bad news I’m sure I’ll hear about it :D

I do not understand what do you mean. What could be (possibly) bad news and why? I can see nothing wrong about this. Just curious why would you think it could be bad news in some way.

Is there any difference in the goals of the communities [email protected] and [email protected]? Is it that [email protected] is focused purely on finding creators instead of general Pixelfed-related discussion as in [email protected]?

Wonderful. This will be great. I would love to see HO get the amount of attention it deserves.

I am trying to stay calm, but failing miserably. This is simply amazing. Good job!
