I heard on mastodon you can apparently interact with lemmy users, although it presents itself horribly. Is it possible with Jerboa to interact with mastodon?

    Mastodon users can see this thread in their app. It appears as a normal Tweet, and all the comments are replies to the Tweet.

    You often see Mastodon Tweets when you change the sort from Local to All, but unless you pay attention you don’t notice the difference

        I asked the same question the other day about pixelfed accounts. The consensus was that lemmy can’t follow individual accounts yet but it’s being looked at for future updates.

        Saying that I’m just passing information along and I might not be totally correct

        I cannot find a way to follow accounts on Jerboa

        @anirbanbiswas I know you can on kbin (and all remote posts that aren’t in a magazine go into a “random” magazine)

        I’m not sure if you can on lemmy. Reading the documentation, you should be able to paste their URL into the search box, but it’s not working for me on your server (although I’m not logged in there so that may be the reason why).

      Not really. Maybe that’s instance dependent but all I see is posts to lemmy communities. I know that mastodon users can post in lemmy communities by tagging the community and it shows up here but how would a tweet with no tags show up?

        but how would a tweet with no tags show up

        this comment here has no tags

        i have no idea to see a random toot that is not connected to any lemmy post. putting the url in the search (like in mastodon) does nothing

          That’s an account from lemmygrad, so not a tweet. But I get that reply tweets could show up as comments.

                i mention nephs, but not the instance.

                to create a post i MUST mention the instance.

                the mention is there because mastodon puts it automatically.
