    The library is actually fully compatible with Mastodon. All the compatibilities are in Lemmy and in Mastodon.

Plus there are some compatibility issues which could easily be fixed on the Mastodon side, but they seem to have zero interest to do that.

            I can only hope. They have already a PR done but not merged that would solve this issue since 2021 IIRC
