Temporary Solution to Lemmy* federation on Mastodon, specifically this issue or this one or this which will probably all be fixed by this but might not be. Unfortunately not a solution to this.
Follows a set of link aggregator communities provided in the config.toml, checks every status to see if it is actually a post, if it is a post boost it to followers otherwise it is a comment and should be ignored. You just follow your bot account and you'll just get the actual posts from the provided communities
*May also fix kbin/Mbin/PieFed federation, I am not certain if those experience the same issues. I tried testing with some federated kbin communities, but I'm not entirely certain how to differentiate between a community and a user from Mastodon. e.g. @TodayILearned@kbin.social seems to reference both a user and a community and I can only follow the user from mastodon
