I’m starting to find some of the cooler aspects of the wider fediverse.
For instance, Lemmy is a Reddit clone that is picking up some migration after the recent hooha or at Reddit.
The cool thing is that it’s federated (same as mastodon, different instances and everything).
This means that you can subscribe to any community on Lemmy, for instance
https://lemmy.world/c/showerthoughts
through its fediverse address, right here on your mastodon instance:
It’s tricky because Lemmy doesn’t support following people directly.
I think you can @ people on Mastodon/Misskey/Firefish by
@user@instance.tldand they will see it, and I assume if you reply to a post or comment made by them (since they can post/comment here) they can interact with it normally.No idea if using hashtags on Lemmy will populate people’s Mastodon feed with those posts, but I assume… not?
Yeah I tried the hashtags-in-a-Lemmy-reply thing once for science, they just show up as plain text on Mastodon.
