    The fediverse, also known as the open social web that includes Mastodon, Meta’s Threads, Pixelfed, and other apps (…)

          I mean, discoverability is hard, sure, but add a few hashtags and you can get a lot of people to see your posts. also, mentioning a lemmy group as a user posts your post to the community.

              If I post a picture of a pet or something, I’d mention a community.

      Yeah!

      I asked here about that and was told there’s not enough of us here. Meh.

        Funny how that works. Wonder if not mentioning it will help remedy that?

    I still feel that interoperability between mastadon and Lemmy is kind of messed up. How to browse a Lemmy community through mastodon application?

      You cannot use a mastodon app as a lemmy client, but you can view lemmy communities by opening them as if they are profiles. For example, open @fediverse@lemmy.world and it will show up as a user, but it will be the communitiy’s posts.

      You can mention it in a post to forward the post to the community as well.

    I can’t wait to find out which project has the most security holes 🔥

    Any guesses?

      The ones with the most amount of code lines and dependencies probably. More code = more problems.

        IMO poor security is more about a lack of eyes on the code. Projects that have a single developer and a lower user-base will be pretty easy money.
