Is there a way to see on mastodon when new threads are started here?
At the moment I follow the @startrek@startrek.website bot, but it reposts every single reply to every single thread, which is a bit much.
In the end, I just took @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website’s advice and have accounts on both
I probably didn't explain properly, I was looking for a mastodon account to follow that posts on mastodon only when a new thread is started on the website here. Looks like @TrekSite@tenforward.social is what I'm looking for, as the @startrek@startrek.website one posts on mastodon every single time a reply is made on the website.
Cool. My Mastodon account is on that instance, but I created it after the one here. See you there.
We do operate that account, but we really only use it to highlight the "main event" posts, rather than every single post.
You can follow individual communities as if they were people on Mastodon. Underneath the hood, communities are essentially bots that boost people’s posts to aggregate them into a single feed.
You're not following a bot, you're literally following this community. That's why you see everything. Lemmy and Mastodon are connected.
