Following #lemmy communities from #mastodon has gotten much better
Version 19.4 introduced automatic hashtag-ing (see https://lemmy.ml/post/16585416)
Posts get federated with a hashtag matching the community name.
The important bit is that comments to posts *don't* get the tags.
Which means you can follow the corresponding tag on mastodon and feed only of posts.
EG: #asklemmy
If you're starting a community, giving it a unique enough name could help prevent overlap too.

A tricky part here is that the community still needs to be followed at least once on your instance for the content to come through. *I think*
So if a community isn't coming through, I'd recommend these steps:
* Search for the community and follow it like any other user.
* Add it to a specific/bespoke list, then remove that list from home (a setting available on each list). This removes "the firehose" from your home feed.
* Follow the corresponding tag as you would any other

I don’t believe so. I’m pretty sure I’ve checked it, but I could be wrong.
It makes sense though as hashtags are a different mechanism from follows and boosts.
You could do a quick test with the test community and the test hashtag.

Unfortunately it’s unlikely to come soon as mastodon is a while away from implementing groups and are doing it their own incompatible way.
This tag process works though and I’m happy the lemmy devs implemented it.
Spread the word.
