I’m assuming you mean Lemmy getting microblog functionality (this is a link aggregator). I don’t think so? It’s not on the roadmap, I’ve not seen any feature requests like that on the github, and people don’t seem terribly interested in writing the code for that.
I personally don’t care about microblogs. Never used twitter or mastodon, I’m much more interested in following topics than people.
I agree with you about microblogs in general. I was just thinking it would be ideal to be able to easily pop in on a hashtag just like a ‘community’ (from right here in wefwef) to be able to get to information that’s being disseminated over there. I expect there to be a lot of quality content on the Mastodon side, but I could be fooling myself.
That’ll have to be my next step. I started making a mastodon account an hour or two ago, but then stopped thinking maybe I didn’t have to, and could somehow get all the same functionality from a lemmy client. I’d like one central app for all this. I’ll head over there and dive in
Thanks for this. Some have said lemmy might get kbin-like features eventually. Could link aggregation like we’re discussing be one of them?

You can always have a peek yourself if you want to. If you’re interested in Mastodon stuff, why not make an account yourself?
Also, lol, looks like the bean hype has spread to Mastodon
