Lemmy doesn't seem to get much recognition in the wider Fediverse - it tends to get bundled as part of 'other apps'. Mastodon is much bigger, so better integration with Lemmy probably gets deprioritised below their own issues and feature requests (e.g. I was reading today that Markdown support is often requested, but the base version still doesn't have it)
I don't think it's technically impossible - all the information that another site needs to properly interpret some activity is in the JSON that's sent. I get the sense that it might be unrealistic to expect Mastodon to make the necessary changes though. It seems more of a political issue than a technical one.
It's partly an issue of keys. Every fediverse actor has a private key and a public key. When my instance sends this to fediverse@lemmy.world, it's signed by my private key, and lemmy.world uses my public key to verify it. When fediverse@lemmy.world sends this comment out, it uses it's own private key to sign it. It can't just re-transmit my comment, because it doesn't have my private key. All it can do is Announce that I've made the comment (and sign the Announce).
Mastodon treats Announces as Boosts, so every post/comment is interpreted as a thing that fediverse@lemmy.world has boosted, so you get all these un-connected posts appearing. I think it's mostly up to Mastodon to remedy.
It works better if a Mastodon actor posts into a Lemmy community, then you get the mix like you imagine. e.g.: https://mastodon.world/@Flash/112095241193510662 (this particular post was crowbarred into Lemmy via !tails@lemmon.website, but it would be the same if the author had done it.)
No settings page (as far as I'm aware), but you can use the API to get everything (posts, comments, etc):
step 1: get login token -
curl --request POST \
--url https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '
{
"username_or_email": "2br02b",
"password": "YOUR-PASSWORD"
}
'
step 2: use login token (big long string starting with 'ey') to get data -
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user?username=2br02b&page=1' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR-JWT'
Increment page number until you have everything. source: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_user
Edited to account for blahaj updating to 0.19.3 ... hopefully that's the last big instance to change.
It's been about a week since sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world updated, so results from those instances will start appearing again soon.
Voyager has a setting for "No subscribed in All/Local" that does this. It's better on than off, obviously, but it doesn't turn All or Local into some kind of goldmine.
I get the sense that, unless you're willing to do it yourself, feature requests for Lemmy don't have much chance of being realised.
Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn't then duplicated to 50 other servers ... yeah, I don't see how that can work.
(I'm just kidding - your site looks neat.)
!quickanimalfacts@lemm.ee - yeah, go on then. subbed.
Oh, yeah, cross-posts are great - I think it's something we're all supposed to be doing. I wouldn't say anything usually - just thought this image might raise questions that the creator could perhaps answer.
(sorry to intrude). This has had a few cross-posts on Lemmy. The link that goes to !tails@lemmon.website is attributed to the author of the image, so you can reply to them via that community if you wish.

For Season 1, it took a extra year for the FX ... so maybe this means Season 2 will appear in February next year?
Maybe they were able to get some done during the strikes. Or maybe Andor will get shoved up the priority queue. Either way, it could even be out later this year.
Looking forward to it either way. I'm sure I'll find time to squeeze in an extra rewatch of Season 1 in the meantime ...
Just posting to nag you about this: can !tails@lemmon.website be added as an exception to the automod?
