Want to watch the #threadiverse growing by the hour?

@tao just set up @threadcount, which posts every hour the number of new people signing up to #Kbin and #Lemmy

Is it possible to follow that from Lemmy or do you need an account on one of the micro-blogging fediverse sites?

you can look at the account on this side https://lemmy.ml/u/threadcount@botsin.space but I don't think you can even "follow" users on lemmy, but that is a good question and I am still getting my grip of how lemmy works, I never really used reddit so I don't know what the assumptions are

The whole reddit like part of the fediverse makes sense to me, what I am still confused by is how that part interacts with the microblogging part.

@taladar @wakest this is a reply from mastodon, as an example!

When I click on the Context link for the notification for this example reply I get https://sh.itjust.works/u/liaizon@social.wake.st which seems to show a timeline for you and has Send Message and Block User buttons. Presumably that is the way to read microblogging messages via Lemmy

@taladar wanna try "sending me a message"? I didn't realize lemmy supported that, I wonder if it shows as a DM

taladar@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I just did. It did have a warning that private messages are not secure so I assume it would show as a DM.

@taladar haven't received anything on my side. seems to be broken...
