Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites?

I’ve always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I’m just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.

If I’m right Lemmy devs haven’t implemented observing others platforms yet. I mean Mastodon, Pixelfed and the others.

If the person who posts on mastodon mentions a community on lemmy, their toot appears as a post in that community on lemmy. It happened on !thunder_app

I posted my cat to https://lemmy.world/c/cat from my mastodon

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !cat

Nemo ,

Yeah, I’m interested in being able to access Funkwhale and Lemmy from the same place, myself.

I see mastodon users here once in a while. kbin users, too!

Mastodon users can see Lemmy posts, but I’m not sure if it works the other way around unless the Mastodon post is specifically to a Lemmy community. Kbin magazines do show up on Lemmy though

On Lemmy, I sure use it a ton between different Lemmy instances and KBin! On Mastodon I only use it to communicate across Mastodon instances really, but neither service would be the same without the ability to see posts from other instances.

Same here, except I’m on Firefish and I use it to view Mastodon and Misskey.

PeleSpirit ,

I look at them separately because I haven’t figured out how to do it from one to the other.

profilelost ,

Same here. If there’s a Handy tutorial anyone would suggest to get familiar with those abilities I’d love to hear about them.

You can follow communities from Mastodon with format @lemmings (ie replace the exclamation mark with an @). It’s a miserable experience though. It’s better to follow communities using Lemmy or Kbin (I’m not sure if Calckey works better).

Yeah. I followed the Technology community and it’s a mess on Mastodon. Replies all show up on the Home feed and there’s no context. I have to click on the comment then scroll all the way up to see the original post.

PeleSpirit ,

I wonder why they don’t differentiate between a comment and a thread? They have that capability in Mastodon.

I think it’s because they all show up as being boosted by the group.

Venomnik0 OP ,

Mastodon or some party should really improve the interfacing between these services at some point really.
