is anyone else exploring the wider fediverse?
I know of a few users who were originally from kbin/mastodon, I’ve heard some mentions of peertube, and I’m currently posting this from calckey.
@zn Vulcan did, years ago during first #TwitterMigration
Stumbled exploring fediverse (\lemmy.ml account interacting \monyet.cc alternate universe).
Anyway, how to make everything visible to my this \lemmy.ml account? (From here, sleep walking into more alternate universe)
Honestly no, I’m waiting for it to come to me. I was promised eventual inter-operability with a lot of it from my one account, and I like the simple format of Lemmy, so I’m waiting until I can access stuff like Mastodon content from here.
unfortunately, it seems a feature request to add microblogging functionality to lemmy was rejected by the devs: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3402
They’ll cave to pressure eventually. I understand them not prioritizing adding the functionality early in the development, when there are about a billion things potentially more important.
Once those billion things get whittled down though, the situation changes. If they haven’t added it in 3 years, I’ll probably just switch to kbin. Probably along with many others, due to overall integration being pretty integral to the Fediverse as a whole.
So I assume it’d be like posting in /u/yourname back in spezland? Now it feels weird to think leddit also had microblogging features of some sort.
dunno how tbh
Wow, calckey has one of the best GUIs I’ve ever seen.
so…wait. is mastodon also lemmy? I’m real fuckin confused here.
Mastodon is its own thing. It’s a microblogging platform like Twitter. Lemmy is an aggregator and discussion platform like Reddit. Kbin is a mix of both.
But they all can talk with each other as they’re using a set of communication protocols that everyone understands, called ActivityPub. This protocol is the foundation that made the fediverse possible. It means content can be spread across many servers, and interactions can happen the same way.
