It’s funny when armchair experts insist that the fediverse won’t catch on because “federation is too hard to understand” when arguably the most widespread communication system on the internet follows the same model

    Mastadon and Lemmy use the same protocol.

    You can even see accounts and posts from Mastodon on Lemmy, and the other way around too.

    But yes, email is great.

      I’ve heard it’s (currently) impossible to post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account due to how both are differently built, unless you’re referring to seeing a Lemmy discussion from Mastodon.

        kbin/mbin does have some mastadonesque facilities. So it straddles the line between threadiverse and I dunno what we call the mastadon side.

        Mbin will do both but not all servers appear to federate with Mastodon

        I’m trying to reply to this with a Mastodon account. I’ll be interested to see if it appears in the discussion on Lemmy instances, and if replies to it from Lemmy appear in my @mentions here.
