I am trying to figure out how people can subscribe to a Lemmy community or Lemmy thread?
It might be possible to see a community on Mastodon if you copy the link (example: https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support) and paste it into the search field on Mastodon and then you can hit subscribe and even activate the bell for notification.
But nothing happens if I do that.
Can someone confirm that it usually works like that, but it may be a problem of my Mastodon instance?
Is it possible to subscribe to threads, too, e.g. like this one here I wrote (without being the creator of a thread)?
I would really like to go public with my Lemmy instance, but if this doesn’t work, it’s a no-go.
You’re able to subscribe to communities by following them, but i don’t think you can follow threads. The posts show up as boosts (similar to retweets) on the community’s page.
Use kbin. I use both Mastodon (for twitterish style subscribing) and kbin (for redditish subscribing). None of em work well enough to do everything with just one app.
