Sorry, I am really new to the idea of the fediverse. So, it is about standartisation for social media protocols so I can interact with users on another side that uses the same standard. Does this mean if I post something on lemmy I can find it on Mastodon, or is it only certain features? I guess I dont understand how this applies to the every day use of there application
They all should be able to speak together, it’s more a question of how each interprets it. I havn’t tested personally but some reports of following lemmy from mastodon results in a firehose of individual comments for a given topic being received.
