Several people post about #rust and #rustlang on the fediverse. Could those posts be automatically pulled in here, e.g. into a dedicated community instance?

    Uff fetching comments without any context doesn’t seem that useful to me. It would be great if Lemmy only delivers the top-level post with a link to the full thread if it detects the client is a Mastodon instance.

      I know painfully little of ActivityPub, but from a protocol design PoV, Lemmy altering its behavior when it sees Mastodon doesn’t sound desirable. I’d rather put metadata in the toots that allow better decisions, or even have two entities (linked by metadata) for channel-top-posts and channel-everything, if the latter is needed at all.
