Way to make me feel silly for having both an account on both a Mastodon server and a Lemmy server! ;)

I love both Mastodon and Lemmy, but they usually don’t federate very well with each other, so one cannot replace the other: Lemmy users cannot see microblog posts which aren’t connected to any community and Mastodon doesn’t show the body of Lemmy posts. Currently trying out Friendica, which manages all parts of the Fediverse reasonably well.

Interesting - will look into Friendica. I just hacked up the latest stable release of Lemmy to run on OpenBSD but it’s not something I think I want to maintain long-term. Looking for something that will last a while, kinda like email but maybe not that long!

Is it possible to migrate from Mastodon to friendica? And how are the mobile apps?

@Bebo
You can always migrate, but sadly there is no way to import your profile directly from Mastodon. The two best apps, Fedilab and Relatica, are fine but rather limited in functionality, so I often end up using the web version.

Lemmy + Mastodon is a pretty great combo :)

Yea. Generally a good demonstration of how the promise of the fediverse isn’t really there yet.

Lemmy does groups and mastodon does users with neither really understanding the other.

I think there’s more scope for lemmy to cover the user side of social media than mastodon the groups side. Kbin is an example of a continuing effort to do that.

If some keen devs got involved, I’d suspect lemmy could add some good user based functionality.The core devs have recognised it’d be good.
