Lemmy.ml, the most popular instance fo Lemmy out there, is not accessible in my country unless I use a VPN. But, I can subscribe to any community that exists on lemmy.ml from here and even post on those communities from this account.

I love this aspect of Lemmy.

    @mykl I make it work, but there’s interoperability issues.
    Right now I can see that one of my comments got like 2 thumbs up. The issue is that I can’t see it on Mastodon, not even like a “favorite ⭐” which is the closest thing.
    Also I gave you a “favorite”, but Lemmy don’t register it as a thumbs up, so probably you only gonna see some of my interactions with you, only if you access through the Mastodon UI.

    Also I can’t find the way to follow people from Lemmy and bookmark/save their posts.

      Well, early days I suppose. Now they’re both receiving a lot more attention I hope that these sorts of issues will get addressed. If you enjoy the pain I hope you’ve checked out how it all works with kbin too!

        @mykl Right now I think that I’ll leave the ActivityPub for now.
        Is easier just to make an account in lemmy.ca and in kbin.social than trying to reply comments/toots, find a way make the comment in first place, to try to follow someone and also to find a way to save content from another social network.

        Also ActivityPub allows me to make a post on Lemmy from Mastodon on any of their “subreddits/communities”.
        The issue I can only post and reply 500 characters. Which is very annoying.
