Hard to follow #lemmy posts from Mastodon. I decided to follow @nostupidquestions to try it out and each comment that someone posts shows up as a boost and only sometimes is threaded. Time to check out #kbin.
I can’t reach content on Mastodon at all from Lemmy. The exception is a reply to a post originating from Mastodon.
Right now there’s issues with various platforms talking to each other, just growing pains I think. The Lemmy devs are consumed in dealing with Lemmy, the user base exploded in the last month. I’m sure they’ll work on improving interaction with other platforms at some point.
I don’t personally see this is a problem. I don’t think I understand how mastodon-format content can make any sense in the sea of posts with multi-threaded comments sections attached to specific communities.
Unless it’s just a case of using your lemmy account and handle on a federated mastodon server, which I could see the desire for, I just wouldn’t be the one who benefits.
Yeah, I don’t know how it could ever work well, they’re just totally different formats, and honestly, I’m fine with them being separate
I just think it’s great that they integrate at all. They’re such different forum layouts that there’s no really sensible way to do it – but on a good day, posts can be seen, with threaded comments, and that’s great especially if you want to follow a specific user.
I love that communities appear as special users who just sit there all day boosting posts from other people. A creative way of blending the two paradigms.
agree, so far im not feeling the lemmy>mastodon integration, might just run an mastodon instance as well if its not fixed
It always seemed like a dubious integration to me, done because it could be done and not really because it made sense. Even if they federate using the same protocol, they are different applications. I don’t think it hurts, but yeah, the best way to follow and engage with federated microblogs will be via federated microblog software, and the best way to engage with federated link aggregation/forums will be federated link aggregators.
Though I suppose kbin is attempting to support both fully with separate workflows, so that might turn into a decent all-in-one solution.
I don’t think it was as intentional a thing. but rather just ended up happening as a side effect of both using activitypub
while it’s cool that mastodon, kbin and lemmy can all talk to one another, the format of mastodon just doesn’t play nice with kbin and lemmy. if it works for you, that’s cool, but i’d recommend separate accounts for microblogging and thread-style social media
Hey, talking about this community is allowed, but you must put a [meta] tag in the title. Could you please edit your post to include that?
Thank you (:
Yeah that would be like spez and muskrat merging. No thanks.
