Viewing a group from Lemmy like @fediverse on Mastodon looks like a weird stream of retoots / boosts. That's probably going to confuse some folks as Lemmy & Kbin & frie (hackers.town)

Yeah, I checked the Github and there are a few open issues right now labeled 'enhancements' and 'federation' which talk about how posts from Mastodon (and other software) should be displayed on Lemmy and vice versa. So it's at least on the radar and a known problem from the Lemmy side.

Honestly the biggest problem for me with reading Lemmy threads from the Mastodon end is exactly what the OP said, but I have no clue if Eugen plans to change how post threads are displayed in timelines on Mastodon and its forks.

Yeah, it would be nice if Mastodon eventually handled rendering group threads a little better and meet something like Lemmy part way. I can imagine that different kinds of services using activitypub will end up looking strange through each others' lenses, but there could be some interesting crossovers

(Also I kinda forgot that my post from a mastodon instance would show up like a top-level post over here ๐Ÿ˜…)
