Twitter is to Mastodon as
Reddit is to Lemmy (and now Sublinks)

@JakoJakoJako13 @[email protected] I agree that there are a lot of rough edges, especially when you start crossing boundaries between Activity Pub implementations. It may simply be the case that the @nfl moderators can't see your request to follow because they're not paying attention to the way the content is presented on mastodon. It's very early days in all of this, these hurdles will work their way out over time.

@[email protected] @JakoJakoJako13 @[email protected] I believe the reason Mastodon is showing “16 posts that don't populate" is because your mastodon instance isn't downloading the content for you. Did you follow @nfl? My understanding is that your instance won't fetch those posts until someone on your server is following the account, and even then it will only fetch new posts after someone follows the account, not the old back catalog. That's why you get the link to "browse more on the original profile."

@[email protected] @name@server @JakoJakoJako13 @nfl I find it easier to think of @ names as "feeds" instead of "users". This way, there's no distinction that needs to be made between "user feeds" and “place feeds” as you've described them. My mastodon account is my personal feed of content that I write. The @nfl feed is an aggregator feed that boosts out posts from the lemmy instance

@leopardboy Same. While the content transfers across, the presentation does not. The benefit of #lemmy is the upvoting, sorting, and threading, which gets lost in translation.

@arthurwyatt @startrek It does!

@MaggiWuerze Yes! I'm replying from mastodon too!

@astromd I use @ivory all day, every day. There's native ios and macos apps. I've also used Ice Cubes and it was pretty good too.

@jpm @programming You literally just did it! By tagging @[email protected], you created a new post. The replies you're getting on Mastodon are showing up as threaded replies on beehaw.

@End0fLine me right now:

Edit, that seems to have not worked. Was supposed to be https://giphy.com/gifs/star-trek-data-tng-JSnKGLvrFvYU8

@startrek oh, neat. I'm posting this from Mastodon, and didn't realize it would also START a thread on your lemmy server. Sorry Star Trek folks, just using you as a fun example! 😅

And also a little 😳

@lwaxana_katana i hope the crossover lives up to the hype.
