I’ve only used Lemmy amongst the panoply of ActivityPub compatible social networks; am I seeing and interacting with posts from Mastodon, Friendica, et al. and just not aware of it?

    Possibly! I have replied to this post from my Mastodon account (hopefully that post will show up soon). People on Mastodon can see these posts and interact with them, but it’s kinda clunky. The posts and comments are implemented as boosts. So you post here and I see this on Mastodon:

    Every reply will also show as a boost from nostupidquestions@lemmy.world.

    I don’t think it works the other way around. I don’t believe you can follow specific AP accounts from here (like you can’t follow my Mastodon account from your Lemmy account). I think they have to be groups/communities. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

      So I replied to this comment as well as the original post via Mastodon. Apparently this doesn’t work anymore (or I was wrong and never did or it’s very slow).
