I wish Lemmy had the Mastodon functionality to create your own lists of communities. I subscribe to a ton of communities and I have a couple of them which are very low volume but I’m very interested in seeing each and every post there. Right now I have to remember them and go to them specifically once every couple of days to check if there are new posts there.
In Mastodon I have a #Homies list which is always visible and there I see the posts of people I personally know and want to see each post of them. It’s amazing and easy to implement.

Mastodon is federated though, couldn’t you just create those lists of Lemmy communities and view them in your preferred method on Mastodon?
Not trying to sound like a smartass but it seems like a possible solution to your problem.

Yeah, as a workaround perhaps, I will try to check. But the UI is not very good for shawing Lemmy posts on Mastodon.

I actually do this with a few crafting communities that rarely get new posts, makes it easy to see when something pops up in one of them.
It’s not ideal obviously and I do hope we get these sorts of features eventually, but in the meantime it’s a decent workaround for a very specific situation.

It’s a functional workaround, but Lemmy’s version of federation where every single post and comment gets boosted by the community “account” makes things difficult to handle.
