I’ve been lurking across Lemmy and kbin from my Mastodon account. I tested the ability to post to Lemmy via a toot and it definitely works, but there are some drawbacks. I could only reply to comments that were within Mastodon’s character limit. I could see longer comments if I navigated to the web page for the Lemmy post, but could only interact with whatever showed up in my Mastodon notifications.

Yeah it’s all got me real excited for what’s possible, especially considering the #Fediverse is still technically pretty young. I have so many questions still, and finding the answers have been difficult, but more in a way that makes it fun to try things and discover on my own in a way I haven’t done in a long time. I’m imagining some pretty complex platform/creator/user interactions that just aren’t possible elsewhere. Plus the possible platforms that can be built on #ActivityPub.

I feel like every video I watch and article I read kind of just glosses over some of the basics, but I don’t see many people really exploring the possibilities with the Fediverse. Honestly, my head is swimming with possibilities. I’m still trying to understand all these Lego pieces. I feel like this cross platform interaction is really the Fediverse’s “killer app” functionality. Nothing else like this across the “Old web” platforms…

…like… whoa man… I feel like I can SEE the Matrix now…

@jaykay I’d actually like to see bots rip top posts from reddit to post to Lemmy, and the subreddits who would like to I would love to see them create their sister Lemmy instances and create an auto crosspost process. This way, they are keeping their subscribers happy and can make the transition whenever they feel like it if it really comes time to completely abandon ship… Which for me it is time!
