After quite a while, @crashdoom has finally found something to do with pawb.social – Introducing, Lemmy!
Lemmy is a selfhosted, federated social link aggregation and discussion forum, similar to Reddit, but using ActivityPub just like Mastodon.
This instance will serve as Pawb.Social’s foot-in-the-door and an expansion of our services beyond Mastodon, but we won’t be restricting usage to just users from furry.engineer and pawb.fun – Anyone is free to join!
Any user can create their own community within the instance, share it with other instances, and create a conversation around their favorite topics.
Though, if you have a Mastodon account already, you don’t need an account to post here! Just take the community name to the right (e.g. pawbsocial_announcements, remove the !) and mention it in a post:
@pawbsocial_announcements@pawb.social Hey, I can post to Lemmy from Mastodon!
You can also follow the community group account to get new posts straight on your existing Mastodon feed!
We’ll be utilizing two communities for official purposes: Pawb.Social Announcements for news and info about Pawb.Social services and Pawb.Social Feedback to receive feedback, issues, and comments on policy from our users.
We hope you’ll enjoy and help us create yet another amazing community together!

Mobile Apps
If you’d like to browse on your phone, take a look at the list of apps on the Join Lemmy website! There’s both a client for iOS and Android, so no one should be left out!

Hello o/ I’m just having a look around and trying to figure out how this all works.
@Capydeev This is a test reply from my mastodon account.
Test reply with ~~undefined ~~ English language. Have I really been here a whole week already?
Seem to be unable to reply to my mastodon account from my lemmy account. Looks interesting though! Neat seeing replies from the communities I follow pop up on the other timeline.
