The adoption of Mastodon functions as an entry point for the whole Fediverse, so its’ momentum can be used so that people start leaving Facebook – which shall sink the company’s monopoly further.
So this is fun. This post is a reply to a Lemmy post directly from my Mastodon account.
Lemmy is a Reddit-like Fediverse server software. You can follow groups on it, like @technology , directly from your Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey etc account. And yes, your replies should show up under the post on the Lemmy side — in this case here:

Apologies to @admin for kinda spamming in that thread, but then again, the post was about a monopolist walled garden, and federated services are the best way to bring these down.
So I hope we can agree it’s kinda on-topic. 😉
Subscribing to and commenting on lemmy posts from Mastodon is a great example of how different activitypub services can work together.
And, how different interfaces exposing the same underlying data structure/protocol can work well together.
It doesn’t work _really_ well yet.
- I didn’t see https://szmer.info/comment/52658 ITT from mastodon until I searched it with its URL to make my instance know about it.
- https://idiomdrottning.org/objects/5990cb60-dd18-45f0-9989-1ddf883235fd doesn’t show up on the Lemmy instance. Or is that on purpose because @Sandra didn’t @ @technology?
Is it really like @j12i says, that it’s because I didn’t explicitly at @technology? That’s gonna look so ugly if that’s a requirement from now on 🤦🏻♀️
@Sandra @technology @j12i interesting, looks like a bug. I wonder if it’s something in the newest code or some such.
But since it’s a bug, it will get fixed. Lemmy’s AP implementation has been getting better and better, slowly.
Facebook has been terrible for years.
After dropping Facebook in 2016, I haven’t paid much attention to Facebook (aka Meta) in general. I probably should because it’s still very influential despite what this seemingly hyperbolic article posits.
Yes?
@admin Happy to see Zack’s implosion.
