There's a bunch of lemmy content now coming from the migration out of reddit land, but I've just tried to follow one of them (@gaming) and it works ... except I'm getting *every single comment* (ie. posts and replies) from that instance in my timeline, not just the top level posts. Anyone know whether that's intended, or whether there's a fix?

Are you using a Lemmy client or a mastodon client? I think it is better to use a client that can sort through these "Lemmy" like federations, otherwise you will get every post.

I don't know if it is possible for Lemmy to only federate posts but not comments with other apps like mastodon.

@derived_allegory this is using a mastodon client

thanks for the response, looks like I'll have to use lemmy, I just thought I might be able to use masto instead :)

That is how mastodon handles groups currently, as proper group support is still cooking. It is now on mastodons radar and hopefully that'll lead to better support in the very near future.

Top of the home page there should be a switch to select showing all comments vs posts.

It depends on what you mean by intended

The way lemmy groups push content to members of the groups is by boosting all posts and replies made to the group. Lemmy is designed to recognise boosts by lemmy groups, and displays them appropriately, but to an app that isn’t designed with groups in mind, all they see is a bunch of boosted content.

I cannot tell you if that is a bug or some setting. I can just show you how it looks for me using Jerboa with the card theme. The only bug that I am experiencing sometimes is, that the app shows the content of the previous page I was on when clicking something.
