There's a bunch of lemmy content now coming from the migration out of reddit land, but I've just tried to follow one of them (@gaming) and it works ... except I'm getting *every single comment* (ie. posts and replies) from that instance in my timeline, not just the top level posts. Anyone know whether that's intended, or whether there's a fix?

Are you using a Lemmy client or a mastodon client? I think it is better to use a client that can sort through these "Lemmy" like federations, otherwise you will get every post.
I don't know if it is possible for Lemmy to only federate posts but not comments with other apps like mastodon.
@derived_allegory this is using a mastodon client
thanks for the response, looks like I'll have to use lemmy, I just thought I might be able to use masto instead :)
That is how mastodon handles groups currently, as proper group support is still cooking. It is now on mastodons radar and hopefully that'll lead to better support in the very near future.
