My mastodon post getting a reply from a lemmy user. Mastodon-lemmy integration is not good, so seeing it happen passive was weird.

Instead, what happened here (AFAICT):

An #mbin "magazine" sucked up my post due to a hashtag (I think)
Added it (for some unclear reason) as a post to it's equivalent of a community
Then federated that to #lemmy as such

Yea interesting. My personal take is that these boundaries are mostly artificial and come from for-profit big-social platforms building walled gardens.

Personally, for the fediverse, I'd throw away "reddit", "twitter" etc and start again from fundamentals. Links, text, images, comments, replies, threading ... etc.

I also believe the separation between lemmy and mastodon has hurt the fediverse and it'd be a better, nicer and even bigger place if there were decent interop.
