    I feel like it’s usable if you follow the community and strictly assign it to its own list. So the posts in the community only show up in the mastodon list.

      So the posts in the community only show up in the mastodon list.

      the problem is that you don’t get only posts, as mentioned in the part of the post that I quoted. if you follow til@lemmy.world from a Mastodon account, you get an endless list of all comments made in the community, without any context, sorted chronologically.

          this is what I get when I follow !technology@lemmy.world from Mastodon:

          a list of completely random comments made in the Technology community

          and it just keeps going on and on.

          there’s no way of knowing which thread they’re from, without explicitly clicking on each and every one to view the context (spoiler alert: every comment from that screenshot is from a different post). it’s just not a viable to browse the content of the community, regardless of whether it’s assigned to a separate list or not.
