The current functionality of the #Lemmy platform requires users to utilize their #Mastodon accounts to follow other Lemmy users, which differs from the approach taken by platforms like #mbin. This limitation can be seen as an inconvenience for those who prefer a more integrated user experience within Lemmy itself.
You must log in or # to comment.
Mastodon (microblogging, follow users) and Lemmy (forum, follow topics) cater to different kinds of users. I don’t subscribe to personalities, I subscribe to discussion topics, that’s why I’m on lemmy and not mastodon.

Yep! I feel the same way!
How is this sad, or a story?
That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. If you want to follow users, use Mastodon or something.
Good - thought I was the only one who saw little value in following a person on Lemmy.
