So I did figure out that yes, #Mastodon can federate #Lemmy and #Kbin content. The problem is that Mastodon doesn't know what to do with it, so it (the group) looks like a user that boosts all posts and comments.
I found myself browsing the "federated group" @selfhosted over on https://kbin.social, as I think Kbin has a nicer UX for it.
I didn't really want to create a separate account for group stuff, but that might be what we do in the short term. 🤔
I wrote this in another thread, so copy pasting it here:
I believe that the limitation is part of the Mastodon app, and not related to the Fediverse. There might be a character limit but I don’t think it’s as limited as Mastodon’s.
Btw, Mastodon isn’t really fit for this type of conversation. Mastodon aims to replace tweeter - microblogging interaction, where Lemmy aims to replace Reddit - thread interactions.
Each comment on Lemmy will be treated as microblog on mastodon which isn’t really practical.
Except that that sounds like a Mastodon lack of features. Cuz Twitter had threads. As long as you were replying to someone each conversation was a sub thread and so on.
Just be glad it’s not all attached to your optic nerves yet…

Actually, exception rethrowing is a real thing - at least in Java. You may not always want to handle the exception at the absolute lowest level, so sometimes you will instead “bubble” the exception up the callstack. This in turn can help with centralizing exception handling, separation of concerns, and making your application more modular.
It seems counter-intuitive but it’s actually legit, again at least in Java. lol
Some people say it's wrong to #torrent because it disincentivizes people from making new content, but all I want is to be able to find the content that's already been made!
I think the best outcome of the ongoing Reddit corporate trashfire would be if each subreddit mod team opened their own Kbin server for supporting and migrating their community, running their way. #RedditMigration#Reddit#Kbin#social#fediverse
A portion of the feed was made up from a user posting articles to this feed from one of the other instances. They generated a bit of discussion, but mostly it was lower effort links.
