A sad story... Follow a lemmy user (lemmy.world)

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.

What?
Well, I can only speak for myself, I'm not here to follow users but communities.
And if someone wants to follow me I'd see it as kind of annoying for them seeing all the different topics I post and comment instead of something focused.

IMO the ability to see Mastodon interactions in Lemmy and vice-versa is quite annoying since they use the same protocol for different experiences.

Yup. Following a user is creepy as fuck
