Mastodon has a ton of apps and Lemmy app development is going crazy right now. Are there any apps that can use both Lemmy and Mastodon accounts (and preferably Kbin accounts too)? I know the interfaces may need to be different, but the protocols are the same as far as I understand it, so it seems technically possible.

    Imagine if you subscribed to a community on Lemmy and it only showed posts and comments AFTER you subscribed…

    If you’re on a small instance, that’s actually the case with Lemmy, lol. You can only see a remote community if someone from your instance subscribed to it.

      You can see the remote community once you search and you can see all posts in that community, from your server.

      On Mastodon, even after you subscribe, you CANNOT see old posts on your instance, unless you put each post url individually in the search bar.

      So, not the same at all.
