It's like being invaded by Twitter.

I hate it and have blocked some instances just to avoid seeing it in the comments.

@metaStatic@kbin.earth @cm0002@lemmy.world hey now don't forget that the deeper you go in a comment chain the more names you need to tag!

I just think it's great that more people can participate in discussion from all across the fediverse. It's pretty neat.

I love it when you got mastodon, lemmy, and friendica users in the same thread all just having a discussion. Really feels like an open network and what internet should be.

I was annoyed at first, because who the heck would do that deliberately.

Then I realized it's part of the software, so yeah it's a little quirky but also cool that it works to begin with!

@all

@Lazycog@sopuli.xyz @metaStatic@kbin.earth @cm0002@lemmy.world why though? I don't understand it. Is it because they don't have threads?

@atro_city@fedia.io

They kinda have threads, it's a bit of a different format and they don't have communities really. check this current post out on mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@cm0002@lemmy.world/114678153485329034

If you don't include the names your comment appears as a standalone toot under cm0002's post.

The communities on lemmy are actually hashtags on mastodon. cm0002 made this post under their own profile and hashtagged the "community" (fedimemes).

Edit: corrected myself

This is the most torn I've ever felt between an upvote and a downvote.

Brilliant

@cm0002@lemmy.world sup

wait, i think i did it wrong

@toynbee@lemmy․world

TIL that Lemmy and Mastadon are linked? I stopped using Mastadon because there was fuck-all being posted, except by the news outlets that I followed, and even tags corresponding to massive fanbases sometimes had fewer than a dozen entries...

It looks to me like you did it right.

I don't see how that would accomplish anything though? On PieFed it would work, or an app like Sync or Connect that I thought people don't use much anymore, but in base Lemmy all it would do is mute the communities from that instance... which since Mastodon doesn't have communities should still allow the users to ping you endlessly, generating notifications each time?

I'm not sure whether it worked or I just happen to see fewer of those things as a coincidence.

There used to be a flurry of them a few months ago, and I didn't block anything but I haven't seen any since. I suspect they were simply testing to see if it worked, which it did but it's annoying so they stopped?

Mastodon clients add ats automatically, but it's not required, like this comment.
