Relative Lemmy link /u/elonjet@mastodon.social.

I guess Lemmy doesn’t show users mastodon posts? :)

I think ActivityPub states that you must follow a user for their posts to federate, but Lemmy currently doesn’t give a way to follow users only communities, so it will probably eventually work

(I think technically communities are fake users that retweet/boost the posts to them?)

Communities are Actors in AP with type “Group”, and in Lemmy they’re automated to Announce anything posted to them to all followers. Users are also Actors with type “User”. I think the word Actor is intentionally used in the spec to avoid people thinking they’re meant to represent actual people. In order for us to see elonjet here the account would have to either tag a Lemmy community or reply directly to a Lemmy user’s comment.

You can follow Lemmy posts/communities from Mastodon, but not the other way round as of now.

Awesome, thank you!

I didn’t see any content when I tried it before posting, so I figured to just leave it out. You’re right, though. Hopefully, as Lemmy evolves, we’ll have a way to follow or “subscribe to” Mastodon users like we do communities.

It’s on mastodon. It’s not the biggest issue if Meta removed it.

See? Not everyone on social media is a bigot. Some of us hate rich people as much as you do, or at least as much as you would if you knew how shitty you have to be to people to become a billionaire.

I guarantee you if he puts a Zuckerberg tracker on Twitter, Elon won’t say shit about that one.

Are you implying he’s not actually a free speech absolutist and only said so for clout from his cult of worshipers?

The Elongated Muskrat would never say anything just for clout, obviously OP just doesn’t understand or appreciate his genius!

/S in case it wasn’t obvious.
