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?

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.

We're all part of the Fediverse which includes Masto, Pixel, PieFed, Lemmy etc all communicating on the same interoperable ActivityPub protocol

Under that is the "Lemmy-verse/Thrediverse" that is what would be "link aggregator" type social media (eg reddit) and includes PieFed, Lemmy, MBin etc.

While very cool in that it basically ruins the whole notion of centralized Social media, it has its quirks. Like what this meme is about, there's no perfect way to translate a Lemmy reply to a mastodon user or a masto reply to a Lemmy post for a Lemmy user

It just redirected me straight back to lemmy.world. (Also, Lemmy doesn't render the URL into a hyperlink correctly.)

It doesn't bother me at all ‍️ I get excited when I see people from Mastodon, just cause it's neat that I can talk to them via lemmy

And PeerTube ideally, though it doesn't seem to work properly at the moment. You can see channels (as a community), but posts don't seem to be resolved.
