  • Huh, that is interesting.

    Definitely a long way to go, but getting better cross compatibility with Mastodon would be very beneficial because I feel like Mastodon users are fairly similar to Lemmy users in terms of attitudes and interests, and they have a huge active userbase compared to us.



  • Aha, took me like 15 minutes to learn how to navigate that site (I never used Mastodon or Twitter) but I figured it out.

    This was the reply on Mastodon

    Federation between Mastodon and Lemmy is still very limited in functionality and weird. Obviously the image OP attached to the original post made it over, but the one they attached to their comment did not.

    The devs need to do a lot of work on that if it’s ever going to be usable by most people. But also users need to experience both sites for themselves to start to understand what the actual use cases for cross platform functionality are.

    I think I got a little better understanding of how it is to interact with a Lemmy community/thread from trying to find that user and his reply via the Mastodon interface. It’s pretty confusing tbh because there’s no threading at all, just random replies.

    But actually on further investigation there is a way to view the thread, I can kinda see it here

    Edit:

    Wtf clicking that link actually navigates me to this Lemmy thread on sh.itjust.works. Now I’m just more confused than ever.

    I’m guessing that it automatically navigates to Lemmy because my account comes from Lemmy. But you can find the Mastodon view of the same comment by manually navigating through Mastodon. Interestingly, the Mastodon view has the same problem where my embedded image doesn’t display. Definitely work to be done.
