Mastodon’s QR feature lets users quickly share any profile by tapping a QR icon next to the username in the Android app.

This generates a unique QR code that others can scan to instantly open the profile in their app or browser, making it much easier to connect-especially at events or in noisy environments.

Would a similar feature benefit Lemmy?

    From my perspective Lemmy by far isn’t as user-centric as Mastodon. In Mastodon you mainly follow people whereas in Lemmy you subscribe to communities.

    I can’t see any reason why. Profiles on lemmy are not that important, you don’t have to follow anyone, communities are the center of everything.

    Serious question: Do people share their lemmy account with others irl?
    Not even my closest friends and family know my username let alone random strangers. And I intend to keep it that way.

      I never did, but I also don’t know any other Lemmy user in person, so I guess it’s pretty pointless to share my profile.

      Well there once was a guy who wanted to know my Lemmy name, but only because I didn’t have a mastodon account

    To add to what have been said, instead of QR code for users, have it for communities instead. That’s what Lemmy/threadiverse is more built around.

      Yeah, it’s like the other commenters all identified that Lemmy is based on communities not users, but stopped JUST SHORT of coming to the right conclusion. Community QR codes!

      Agreed. It’s a good question so glad they brought it up, but it’s not a good fit for Lemmy.
