Nooooooooooooo
Oh hellsite
It really would be so much easier to just boost Mastodon posts into a Lemmy community.
that’s crazy talk, next you’ll be telling us we should be able to actually block people from seeing and interacting with our posts
Hopefully whenever mastodon gets quote posts we’ll see something similar pop up over here.
You don’t need to wait on Mastodon to do it.
Obviously, I’m not talking about you specifically – Threadiverse devs generally.
For example, some of this functionality already exists on Friendica.
For sure! But considering Mastodon has most of the content that would be quote posted this way and most of the users who would be subject to it, and they are working on it (at their own pace), I think it would be tactile to see how it is implemented in Mastodon first and then proceed from that.
It could for example be that Mastodon users will be able to opt out of quote posts in general or in specific posts. If so, this should be respected in other implementations as well. And in general, it’s just nice to have things consistent, and when it’s taking the Mastodon team so long to implement I suspect it’s because they’re devoted to making sure they do it right. :)
Say, are you saying that it’s possible to take an existing Mastodon post, and post it into Lemmy? If so can you pliz point me to someplace that says how to do that? So far I’ve only seen this guide: https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1467-8270-7e3d-48d984455929 and it only says how to crosspost a new Mastodon post, not an existing Mastodon post.
Right now, you can crosspost to a Friendica group by mentioning the group actor handle (ex: @fediversenews@venera.social. And because Friendica supports quoted boosts, you can boost to a Friendica group through this method.
Lemmy could easily support this feature.
Are Lemmy devs aware that this would be a possible way of something to support?
I thought Lemmy already supported that. I’ve seen a few Mastodon posts around.
I’ll believe it when I see it
I’m sure I’ve read this headline before and nothing came of it then.
