No. Lemmy doesn’t allow you to follow mastodon accounts or any personal accounts, incl lemmy accounts, for that matter. Similarly, following a lemmy community from mastodon, while possible, generally doesn’t work well.

Kbin provides parallel interfaces to both threaded and microblog content that works well.

Generally though, it’s an unsolved problem trying to unify the whole fediverse into a single interface.

It will be interesting to see if lemmy will evolve to enable some sort of user based following. At the moment, keeping things simple with community subscriptions is part of how lemmy is developed.

Well, SNW predates DS9, right, so this seems consistent with and even complementary to continuity, unless there’s something in TOS I’m missing.

It’s showing zero posts because she has never interacted with a lemmy community, or at least done so while your instance was subscribed to it.

This is instance visibility, a weirdness that affects all fediverse instances.

Ooh … how did you purge them from your user numbers? Many other admins might not know how to do that … maybe worth sharing?

You have a point, especially as lemmy defines "active" as a user that has at least posted once within the relevant time period. So yes, lurkers definitely wouldn't count toward the active user count (mastodon and the like use different metrics AFAIU).

It’s funny. It seems there’s an inversion with this compared to TNG era trek, where the first season is often a write off.

I agree with you and feel the same way about Picard S1. Something about how streaming era TV is run, at least with the particular mood and aspiration that Star Trek has, seems to benefit from the pre-production planning, and suffer under the loss of season to season production.
