@liaizon @fediverse as a newb to this (see my other post), what do they federate? Like from what I understand, Lemmy is a forum software. When I federate my Mastodon with someone's Lemmy, what do I see? Can I join in on threads on the Lemmy forum with Mastodon? and the other way around? Maybe I'm not getting the fediverse yet.
Not asking your precious time to guide me through this but that information would also be helpful in a visualisation like yours
@iameru you can reply to Lemmy threads with your Mastodon account and (sort of) follow communities as well.
@liaizon @fediverse
@bloodaxe @liaizon @fediverse ah thanks. So basic content is shared or made sharable, like favorites getting read by Lemmy as upvotes.
Btw, I use Mastodon aswell and isn't this a Mastodon thread? Or is this Lemmy and it's already so integrated I don't even recognize it? Are there hints to which service im talking to?
@iameru @bloodaxe @fediverse its both a mastodon thread and a lemmy thread cause we are all in the same fediverse! I started this lemmy thread from mastodon by tagging the lemmy group in the origonal post.
complicated, I'm on Lemmy rn talking to you
