That’s amazing. I wonder if in future mastodon will be pressured to implement some kind of easier way to interact with the lemmy/kbin communities/magazines.
Or Vice versa!
I’ve been lurking across Lemmy and kbin from my Mastodon account. I tested the ability to post to Lemmy via a toot and it definitely works, but there are some drawbacks. I could only reply to comments that were within Mastodon’s character limit. I could see longer comments if I navigated to the web page for the Lemmy post, but could only interact with whatever showed up in my Mastodon notifications.
This is awesome! I would occasionally see someone showing up in a thread using their Mastodon account (usually fairly noticeable from the hashtags appending the message), and did get a bit curious about the workflow to do that. Seems a bit unintuitive, but honestly not nearly as clunky as some have made it out to be. The fediverse really is something special. Thanks for the informative post!
Definitely interesting, but until you can follow a thread or community it’s definitely gimmicky.
Yeah It’s kinda like fitting a square peg into a round hole as far a as usability in this state, but as an example of interoperability it’s pretty exciting IMO. And it’s cool when scrolling through a thread in Lemmy someone can just pop in from their Mastodon and make a comment or reply to one without needing a separate account or service. I’m not even sure if the Mastodon devs are interested in making that flow more seamless or not, but it would be cool to see.
