Did you know that you can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon?
Lemmy is the Fediverse equivalent of Reddit.
If a community is located at
https://lemmy.ml/c/vegan
You can follow it at
@ vegan @ lemmy.ml (no spaces)
Example:
@vegan
The Fediverse is all about demolishing walled gardens. In our future you should be able to follow anyone from anywhere!
#Lemmy #Mastodon #Fediverse #vegan
Yes! This is the coolness. And in theory Masto comments should show up on Lemmy threads (haven’t tried yet)
Mastodon however kinda doesn’t know how to handle Lemmy community traffic (yet). For one, it treats all posts and comments as boosts from the community “user”. And they come as a big wall of posts, there’s little to no threading done.
But for a start at demolishing the walled gardens, its pretty good. :)
@vegan I was just amazed that by making this post on Mastodon, it showed up in the Lemmy community too! Hi vegan friends 👋! I was Nume Macaroon on Reddit.
@zeitverschreib @nm @vegan yeah but that’s a comment not a post, right ?
So you mean starting a new thread within an existing community?
Same principle, AFAIK.
