You can’t see all of mastodon from lemmy though. Only when a mastodon user interacts with lemmy.
This can be done in two ways.
Replying to a lemmy post or comment (they can upvote too)
Creating a new post to a lemmy community, which is what this post is.
But because mastodon (and microblogging generally as there are other fediverse microblogging performs) is based on following people, and you can’t follow people on lemmy, all of the interpersonal mastodon stuff, though public, is not visible to lemmy.
La finalidad de lemmy no es el toot, sino el hilo y debate que se genera. Es muy obvio que deje de seguir todo lo que publica en mastodon porque no tiene nada que ver con el tema o hilo que se sigue en Lemmy.
Yep. Agreed. While mastodon and Lemmy can talk to each other, the both retain their own formats and UI, which are important for how social media works!
So it’s not entirely like you can use just one platform and get all the benefits of both. It’s more like being neighbours and being able to talk to each other from time to time in hall or over the fence.
Not that I know of. Unless the content fits into the post-comment-reply structure, it doesn’t come here. DMs might be a different story all together, but they’re not a great feature over the fediverse anyway.
You are in this thread!

@maegul
Wait, so, #Lemmy has no ability to just fetch a random non-Lemmy post by URL?
