It is even more annoying on Lemmy clients that show every link in a comment at the bottom of the comment in easy to tap boxes. This is great for 1 or 2, but every mastodon post has everyone @ing everyone else.

I just downvote it all, block the users, and move on. That shit is annoying.

Yeah, being able to use Lemmy from Mastodon is great in theory but it's terrible in practice. I've been using Mastodon since 2019 but wouldn't waste my time trying to use Lemmy with that account. The experience just sucks for mastodon users and lemmy users alike. Fortunately, I've somehow managed to figure out how to juggle two separate accounts lol.

Don't downvote, it's not on purpose, just the limitations of their platform

They can't see the downvotes in Mastodon anyway, if I'm not mistaken.

(Assuming you meant to say don't downvote)

oh, yeah, that is what I meant, but it does lower it in ranking here, even if it's a good comment. They're not that common, don't let them bother you

Yeah I don't do it personally. But I also don't begrudge people for downvoting if they find the formatting annoying. The reality is that Mastodon and Lemmy simply don't play nice together atm, and that's a user experience issue that needs to be resolved anyway.

Some of us are willing to put up with the UX annoyances to see what the Mastodon users have to contribute, while others simply don't have the patience to deal with the hassle. The solution is to fix the integration so Mastdon users can post seamlessly without people even noticing they're using a different platform.
