mbin is probably the closest to what you want. Its supports both threaded content (lemmy) as well as microblogging (mastodon) Here is a list of servers https://joinmbin.org/servers and interstellar is the mbin app.

Honourable mention to piefed.social / pyfedi which can do both as well.

However, it's newer than mbin and I'm not sure about mobile apps working with it.

Piefed doesn't have an api, so no 3rd party client. You can use the PWA.

Mbin also works pretty well directly using web.

IMO, app developers in general are lacking imagination or ambition over ideas like this. I’ve even suggested it directly to a developer or a popular mastodon app, who was entertaining the idea of making a lemmy app … and they said they couldn’t see how it would work.

@maegul @VintageGenious Agreed. But it's tricky. Few thoughts:

  1. ActivityPub itself is in a bit of a mess. Spec too large (spread out over many other specifications!), poor documentation, overly generic.

  2. Many devs just aren't that familiar with interoperability

  3. To encourage adoption, Mastodon and Lemmy cloned existing services and behaviour

  4. Those two fediverse systems added ActivityPub late in their development

@VintageGenious Think about it this way: an email client can do both Gmail and Hotmail (and Fastmail etc.) because it’s all just email. The same goes for the Fediverse; it’s all just ActivityPub. For example this reply is from a Mastodon app :D

I have personal frustrations about how popular servers like Mastodon and Lemmy hide ActivityPub. I feel progress is stifled. Enough that I wrote my own ActivityPub service (https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html)

Can Lemmy people see this comment?

Yes!

Probably! :) https://old.lemmy.world/post/19168403
To rephrase your question: "did my message get sent to Lemmy servers?"
Because in a sense, your comment isn't "on" anything; you sent a message to your server (thebrainbin.org) which then sent out a copy to many, many other servers.

Isn’t that what mbin is?

It’s doable: vijayprema.com/using-lemmy-from-my-existing-masto…

The Tusky android app let’s me browse lemmy.world communities.

Does Tusky display threaded content properly when browsing Lemmy?
