Hello everyone! I'm new here... I had been testing Fediverse interoperability on Lemmy but I didn't like what I saw: there were several quirks and flaws that made no sense to me. Several people mentioned PieFed as an alternative and that's why I'm here - I'd like to compare/contrast features and see if PieFed does things differently.

I should mention that I have a blog whose mission is to introduce the Fediverse to non-technical people, to get them to leave the walled gardens of Big Tech: The Future is Federated . I've been doing a show and tell of interoperability between Mastodon and Pixelfed , Friendica and the rest of the Fediverse and I've shown what happens when you federate a Wordpress blog . My new focus in on the "Threadiverse", so Lemmy it is.

I was disappointed when I published my first post on Lemmy (https://lemmy.world/post/18635732) and noticed that:

  1. hashtags don't work
  2. account mentions don't work either (and I was told they do federate in comments, not the first post - whaaaat?!?)

It's cool I was able to find my original post on here (https://piefed.social/post/198179) and I wonder if you have any tips / words of advice regading things that PieFed does and Lemmy doesn't do. I'm really curious.

And please bear with me, I'm going to mention my Mastodon account ( @[email protected] ) and my Lemmy account (@[email protected]) to see if anything happens when I hit post. And bear with me one more time and let me try hashtags here, like #TheFutureisFederated.

Thanks for your patience with this newbie! ๐Ÿ˜…

Elena

Edit: I included the URL of my Mastodon profile to see if it would federate
