Mastodon etc. doesn't really differentiate between posts and comments. So imagine your Lemmy feed having all comments from all communities you are subscribed to just there scrolling through and no real way to know what they even comment on without clicking though to try to find the originally referenced message.
In addition Mastodon has no concept of consistent threads, so basically every person sees something different and you can't really comment on comments without it getting completely confusing.
Ah, this is probably what I wasn't understanding. Thanks for answering all of my questions. I can see how that might be a problem.
Seems like Mastodon needs some way to handle threading better before this could really work then. Kind of surprising that they don't have that.
I still hope there is some way we can connect with the entire fediverse at some point in the future but we'll have to see what form that might take.
