For those seeking out a federated and open alternative to Tumblr, Wafrn is looking extremely promising. It can speak both ActivityPub and AT Protocol, offers a ton of interesting features and customization, and focuses on making an incredibly fun experience.

    Lemmy doesn’t have a concept of a post that isn’t attached to a community. It’s probably possible to post to Lemmy from Wafrn by tagging a community as it is with Mastodon.

    You can follow Wafrn users from Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, etc…

      I hope one day the Lemmy developers arrive at the idea that a person could be a community, somewhat like the way Mastodon treats communities as users. It’s a confusing generalisation, but it works.

        I’d love that idea. Keep it private by default, but if people want people to follow them sure! If they want people talking on their page, sure. Etc etc

        Honestly better that the mastadon/Twitter model to me anyways. Like there are few personalities I follow, and their communities are great. I don’t really want disconnected no context verbalizing though like Mastadon/shitter does.

        Reddit has that, and the ability to follow a user and get notifications when they post. I’m not sure it’s widely used there, but I think it would be a decent feature to add to Lemmy.
