...like... whoa man... I feel like I can SEE the Matrix now...
Couple of tips:
- The first line of your post becomes the title of the post over here on Lemmy.
- So maybe avoid putting the lemmy community/group in the first line (it looks weird here). You can put it anywhere.
- Make sure that if you're "@"-ing others, you put the lemmy group/community first. This is because Lemmy prevents spam by allowing people to only post to one group/community at a time and so only heeds the first. Mastodon, and other platforms don't do that so you can safely "@" others from other platforms and they'll get notified.
Also ... hi from Lemmy!
Hey hey from lemmy
Hey! *waving awkwardly but enthusiastically* :blobcatwavereverse:
Oh cool! So this a first. Hi!
I feel like every video I watch and article I read kind of just glosses over some of the basics, but I don't see many people really exploring the possibilities with the Fediverse. Honestly, my head is swimming with possibilities. I'm still trying to understand all these Lego pieces. I feel like this cross platform interaction is really the Fediverse's "killer app" functionality. Nothing else like this across the "Old web" platforms...
:D dude that enthusiasm is so cool! I mean I am here for all of it and I can't wait to see where all of this and us take it to. Is early days in Rexxit so I am just excited to be here.
Yeah it's all got me real excited for what's possible, especially considering the #Fediverse is still technically pretty young. I have so many questions still, and finding the answers have been difficult, but more in a way that makes it fun to try things and discover on my own in a way I haven't done in a long time. I'm imagining some pretty complex platform/creator/user interactions that just aren't possible elsewhere. Plus the possible platforms that can be built on #ActivityPub.
But wait, can we see Mastodon from Lemmy?
You are in this thread!
You can’t see all of mastodon from lemmy though. Only when a mastodon user interacts with lemmy.
This can be done in two ways.
- Replying to a lemmy post or comment (they can upvote too)
- Creating a new post to a lemmy community, which is what this post is.
But because mastodon (and microblogging generally as there are other fediverse microblogging performs) is based on following people, and you can’t follow people on lemmy, all of the interpersonal mastodon stuff, though public, is not visible to lemmy.
Not that I know of. Unless the content fits into the post-comment-reply structure, it doesn’t come here. DMs might be a different story all together, but they’re not a great feature over the fediverse anyway.
Nope, Lemmy's search doesn't work by URL. I can put in search terms to search across the federation, or I can do [email protected] (example [email protected] ) to search for an instance. I imagine I could search anything that's covered as a "Group" under ActivityPub protocol, but Mastodon doesn't really use those and I don't know any other AP service that does.
La finalidad de lemmy no es el toot, sino el hilo y debate que se genera. Es muy obvio que deje de seguir todo lo que publica en mastodon porque no tiene nada que ver con el tema o hilo que se sigue en Lemmy.
Yep. Agreed. While mastodon and Lemmy can talk to each other, the both retain their own formats and UI, which are important for how social media works!
So it’s not entirely like you can use just one platform and get all the benefits of both. It’s more like being neighbours and being able to talk to each other from time to time in hall or over the fence.
Exactamente, bien explicado en dos párrafos.
Exactly well explained in two paragraphs.
This is quite cool I must say.
Hello, fellow federated
Apparently so!
What, wait … HOW? And can you see all posts in a community?
