It should give an easy overview of the architecture of the Fediverse and what it differentiates from old social media.

Okay maybe I don’t get it but how can I access mastodon from my lemmy account?
Mastodon and Lemmy have only limited interoperability. You can’t follow individual users on Lemmy, so most of it is one-way. Mastodon users can post to Lemmy communities by @-ing a specific community, and Lemmy users can then reply as normal and their replies will show up in the Mastodon users feed.
That’s why I’m always a bit reluctant to have an infographic with Mastodon and Lemmy fully connected. Sure, it’s possible to interact, but it’s not ideal.
Having another one with Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed servers could be better
Subscribing to user posts on Lemmy would be a fantastic feature
Mbin has microblogging
Yeah i do agree but sadjy, there is a reason some of us call it lemmyverse. We can see mastodon’s content.
Since Lemmy doesn’t really support hashtag, the core of mastodon discoverability, I think switching to a new software is better.
PieFed plan to support Mastodon this year. They already do it somewhat : you can follow PieFed user and a.gup.pe work well. You can also follow comment or post by setting up an alert.
Currently, only mbin can do that.
hashtags don’t work well on the Fediverse, a hashtag doesn’t have an owning instance which means there’s no way to push/pull the content by hashtag
On masto that helped me finding new people or thematic discussion. It may not work very well but it does work with boost. From what i was able to achieve with it, it’s an amazing tool 😊
yea I mean it’s fun to use and works well if you’re on a large instance like mastodon.social, I use it even on a medium size instance
but communities/groups work better on the fediverse, and maybe something in between the 2 could be created, some kind of federated version of hashtags
I’m not on mastodon social, i use it on
And hashtag work well. I have a list where i follow hashtag as if i had a community around this keyword.
If mastodon supported group, they would include lemmy, mbin, piefed support. We can remplace a.gup.pe
like I said, hashtags are fun, but the fact that even if you follow the hashtag it only shows posts that were already federated into your instance confuses people
communities/groups will federate the posts for you if you follow, but following a hashtag does not give any federation
Even if you could follow hashtags on Lemmy, you would also need to be able to follow users for anything to show up (so that’s 2 big new features required). And since it requires following users, that would also mean a culture shift would be required, you’d need to convince your instance-mates to use their Lemmy accounts to follow people, but people are mostly here to follow communities not people.
I’m not against the features being added, I just don’t think they’re going to be as impactful to the Lemmy platform as expected.
Simply put your Mastodon profile URL into the search.
Eg. https://europe.pub/u/luislavena@mastodon.social
But it works better the other way around
