      I don’t get the number of people bitching in the comments here.

      Anything that potentially grows Mastodon and Lemmy is good.

    When I first tried to check out the exodus this idea totally confused me and nearly made me drop the whole fediverse idea.

    All this talk about using mastadon account on lemmy IS BULLSHIT. Sorry but - reading about mastadon account etc made it sound like lemmy is just another mastadon instance. Or another “perspective” on the same underlying data. It kind of works but it’s absolutely confusing and frustrating to try to do this. Just make a new lemmy account - which I was trying to avoid because I thought with federation I should be able to move freely between instances.

    It would be nice to merge these kinds of “social media modes”. I believe reddit tried to do something similar with following users etc. But it’s not there yet and only hampers adoption to advertise this.

      I know people will hate the idea, but these federates services need an SSO somehow.

        Or a better “landing page” like an app that can manage multiple instances easily. Or merge multiple communities from different instances. But running in my browser. I’m sure this is in the works with the other lemmy clients or self hosting.

        No pun intended, it’s more like federated identity (hope I’m not being pedantic)

        But I’m with you. I’m the weirdo who likes their data together and uniformly vulnerable lol

      haven’t tried it but couldn’t you technically login to a lemmy-app with your mastodon-account?

        Maybe with an advanced lemmy app, but from the website it doesn’t work from my experience. Or is incredibly clumsy.

        Huh. I know Masto doesn’t do Markdown formatting, but I think that would’ve worked here. I guess escaping that does make more sense though

    Can you make an inverse instructional on how to browse and post to Mastadon from Lemmy? Lol

      Use hashtags in your post body, and it will Federate. :)

          As far as I know. Let’s #test123 Give it a little and see. The more tags, the more federation.

          Edit: Aha! I think it is still open? I thought this worked already as I saw a bot on Github and I follow some communities on Masto.

    @fossilesque This is really neat! I really like being able to be on a completely different instance and commenting/favoriting from other federated instances.
