This is what makes the Fediverse so frustrating, been using: #Kbin #FireFish #Mastodon #Friendica #IceShrimp #Lemmy.
And no, they don’t speak to one another / find one another or are able to follow / like / reply to one another as one is told the Fediverse works.
The truth: some speak to some, and it rarely works both ways. Eg. Mastodon can do a lot more interacting with Lemmy, but not the other way around.
And then there are those that defederate from their own kind / federated social network, splintering the Fediverse even further apart.
Have had to either join new servers + delete current accounts, just because the server that was suggested, happened to be a server that others chose to defederate with.
Now with many accounts + many instances, been trying to find the best place to just have one space in the Fediverse + be able to communicate, follow and interact with other Fediverse users.
Maybe it’s this is wrong, but this has been the experience for almost a year now.
EDIT: APOLOGY
Seems like there are multiple posts, that was not the intention. :-(
English isn’t first language. Was trying to do the “change my mind” meme format they use on other sites to ask someone to prove you wrong, which is what was hoped for.
Apologies again.
This makes no sense, really sorry. Made a post and when looking for it, it just showed nothing. Look here is a screenshot of my personal feed. It only shows the comment on a fediverse post, which I then created into a stand-alone post, in hoping someone would be able to explain or prove me wrong.
And I can’t even go and delete the posts, as when looking inside the posts on my profile, it shows nothing either.
REALLY sorry for the multiple posts, thought the app was bugging out. :-(
Really sorry. Will check on laptop to see if I can find and delete the multiple posts from there…
The idea that you might want Lemmy and Mastodon to work well together is honestly kind of silly to me.
They are structured and built from the ground up to be entirely different kinds of social platforms. Mastodon is structured around people publishing their thoughts. Fundamentally it's simply a kind of blog network. Lemmy is structured around topics and conversation. It's essentially a forum network. I can't see a way they could blend seamlessly, forget if they should. (They shouldn't)
Kbin already integrates Mastodon. It’s seamless enough that I find myself commenting on people’s toots without even realising.
Can you Boost, favorite, mention, or direct message them? No not really. It's a very limited subset of the Mastodon experience. They have vastly different feature sets, mostly without corresponding analogs. That's not remotely what I would call seamless.
Or maybe it literally is seamless. There are lots of missing and incomplete pieces that would need to be stitched together, but aren't.
I just checked and yes, yes, didn’t try but have seen others do so before, and yes.
That impressive then. I don't know.
