Yeah I think federation is really cool. Imagine using your Twitter account to reply to an Instagram post in your feed and your reply shows up on Instagram. It’s just hard to explain federation without using it haha.
You actually can! When you make a post if you tag the account @gunners @lemmy.world (but formatted correctly, I didn’t want to make a post) it will create a post in the community.
@raumdeuter@poorlydrawnarsenal that’s fine. I don’t want to creat an account there for the same reason I didn’t join @arsenalfc.social on mastodon - so much of my posting has nothing to do with the greatest football club in the history of History, so would be irrelevant😀
Yup, so I’m currently replying to you from my Lemmy account.
@poorlydrawnarsenal that’s great, thanks. That means I don’t have to create a new social media account, yay

@ronsboy67 @poorlydrawnarsenal the only thing I don’t think you can do from Mastodon is create a post on Lemmy

@poorlydrawnarsenal oooh I will try this sometime. At least until I find a good Lemmy app for the iPad.
