Multiple Questions

  1. How do I follow a user?

  2. How do I dm a user?

Cause i love thunder, really feels like the coolest, but would be crazy if these things just do not exist

How do I follow a user?

I'm not sure if any Lemmy app has this.

Contrary to a platform like Mastodon, Lemmy is focused on following topics, not people. Maybe there's an Mbin app which can do both?

Sync had it, back when I used it, but it didn't really show anything on the frontpage. It is more like pinning the user to the sidebar. But yeah, that's not how lemmy/piefed works.

Hey there! I responded already in the corresponding GitHub issue, but just to re-iterate:

  • Sending private messages is currently not implemented in Thunder but will likely be available in the next update v0.9.0 (currently work-in-progress)
  • Following users is not implemented in Lemmy so that likely won't come to Thunder anytime soon. However, it looks like Lemmy will have the ability to follow posts in their v1.0.0 release so that may come once that's released!

Hope that clarifies your questions!

Following users isn't a thing on Lemmy. You could do it from a Mastodon instance, not sure how well it works.
