I'm assuming you mean Lemmy getting microblog functionality (this is a link aggregator). I don't think so? It's not on the roadmap, I've not seen any feature requests like that on the github, and people don't seem terribly interested in writing the code for that.

I personally don't care about microblogs. Never used twitter or mastodon, I'm much more interested in following topics than people.

I agree with you about microblogs in general. I was just thinking it would be ideal to be able to easily pop in on a hashtag just like a ‘community’ (from right here in wefwef) to be able to get to information that’s being disseminated over there. I expect there to be a lot of quality content on the Mastodon side, but I could be fooling myself.

You can always have a peek yourself if you want to. If you're interested in Mastodon stuff, why not make an account yourself?

Also, lol, looks like the bean hype has spread to Mastodon

That’ll have to be my next step. I started making a mastodon account an hour or two ago, but then stopped thinking maybe I didn’t have to, and could somehow get all the same functionality from a lemmy client. I’d like one central app for all this. I’ll head over there and dive in

If you want a one-stop shop for both link aggregation and microblogging, then once again, please look at Kbin. They have that as an explicit goal.

I’ll do it. Thanks again
