Which is why, if you actually want to discuss something, it’s better to tag a group. For example, if you want to be part of an actual PC gaming community on the Fediverse, it’s better to tag @[email protected] than #pcgaming.

This needs to be common knowledge because people new to the Fediverse do not know about groups. Hell, I’d say people who have had Mastodon accounts for years still don’t know. And that’s a shame.

You're not the first to suggest it, but I still haven't seen anyone do more than linking one from the other. This feels as inconsequential as posting a Twitter screenshot on Reddit. Is there a deeper integration possible?

@deegeese @atomicpoet

I saw this discussion on Lemmy, searched for it with my Mastodon client and, wow, it works! (I guess, we'll see after I hit SEND)

I guess it’s cool that you can if you want, but if I’m searching Mastodon I want content on Mastodon, not Lemmy and vice versa.

I still don’t see the point.

Is deeper integration possible? Sure, check out how I use [email protected] with my Akkoma account.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can you be more specific? I don’t see anything.

[–] atomicpoet 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure, here’s the URL:

https://piefed.social/c/lumoura

Also, you might want to look at getting a better Lemmy client.

Isn’t that just a Piefed photo stream?

I still don’t see any cross-app integration except simple linking.

[–] atomicpoet 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Nope, not a Piefed photo stream. All those photos (so far) originate either from Akkoma or Pixelfed.

It looks “just” like a Piefed photo stream because I’m sending photos there. 😊

@deegeese @atomicpoet hi, this thread literally popped into my mastodon timeline. Only noticed this is not originally from mastodon because you mentioned it and because you don't mention on replies by default. Hope it works as an answer for deeper integration

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Could you please explain how a Lemmy thread is showing up in Mastodon? I use it too but never see Lemmy there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

You could subscribe to the Lemmy community by following e.g. @[email protected] from mastodon. If you're familiar with https://a.gup.pe/ , it's exactly the same from mastodon. The difference is that with lemmy you can also access without passing through mastodon.

Take a look at [email protected] on Mastodon:

https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

@deegeese @atomicpoet I answer threads on (one) Lemmy community regularly from my Mastodon account. It's weird but it works and frankly, it's cool!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Someone on Mastadon could reply to a comment here directly from there and you may not notice unless you look at their instance.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Usually, you notice it, as Mastodon automatically adds an @username@instance for everybody the commment replies to, Lemmy doesn't.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

True, good point
