@fediverse Hi Fediverse! This is so much cooler than Reddit could dream.
I’m like a kid on Christmas again! 😂
IIRC Mastodon and Lemmy have a give and take relationship because they’re built on the same software so can interact with each other. I can follow Lemmy posts in Lemmy communities that I follow on Mastodon by using the full @fediverse@lemmy.world address. The posts show up and each individual sub comment shows up on my Mastodon feed and if I want more context I can open up the thread.
kbin.social can receive Lemmy and Mastodon content and reply but Lemmy and Mastodon cannot view posts from kbin.social because the software is just slightly different. If anybody knows it better than me, please feel free to correct me.
Welcome to ActivityPub! Nearly all of the Fediverse can talk to each other in some way, the main barrier is that a lot of the apps are in early development and you are fairly limited in how those interactions can take place, but that will come in time. You can follow your favourite users and communities in Mastodon and comment from Mastodon, but you are limited vice versa at the moment.
Edit: I found my Lemmy profile in Bookwyrm, but not much there, and it looks like Pixelfed displays the images you post in your feed. :)
Fun facts, WordPress also uses ActivityPub. WP comprises 43% of the internet.
Can someone tell me hire this works? I’m having issues finding these in Ivory for iOS.
Follow the Lemmy communities you want to see the content from by searching for them as the full address, for example @fediverse@lemmy.world. The individual comments from the post show up in your timeline feed and if you want more context you can press the post to open up the thread.
@Bushwhack I’m using Ice Cubes for Mastodon but here is what i see when I’m looking to follow posts in @aww
Amazing! This gives me hope for the future of the internet. It was always meant to be distributed, not centralized into a few corporate hands.
