Why bother when we have Mastadon?
there are 2 sides to the AP-connected fediverse.... microblogging (tweets/mastodon) and the threadiverse (federated forums/lemmy). mastodon is 100% microblog. lemmy is 100% threadiverse.
mbin is both.
i can easily follow/be followed by mastodon, universodeon, etc as well as fully participate with lemmy.
mastodon is a federating micrblog platform.. so anyone on any other instance of any kind that also speaks AP/microblog can interoperate. instance is just an address.
the main thing keeping people from leaving twitter are their own egos. as you point out, 'ive got x followers! ill have none in the fediverse!'
I love Lemmy. But the thing I miss most about Reddit is being able to connect with ppl who have deep obscure knowledge about specific things. That will come as Lemmy grows.
It is actually easy to participate in Lemmy from Mastodon. Federated community are represented as user. When someone write on the community, they appears as the author on Mastodon while the community boost the post. This way a Mastodon user can follow acommunity. By mentioning the name of community in a post that is not an answer to another post, their write post on the Lemmy community. The next post in the Mastodon thread will be treated by Lemmy as comment.
The problem is more in sharing comments. After one or two level of comment it is becoming very buggy. For the rest, it works very well.
@pseudo
And here I am, participating in a Lemmy thread from my Mastodon account.
@originalucifer @memes
cool!
even your correction is wrong lol. you can move accounts on mastodon taking all your followers and follows with you, just not your toots.
Hello from Mastodon
Nice name and profil picture.
Thanks! 😁
Incorrect. It's just a different kind of platform. There's no really simple way to make a twitter-like site and a forum site mesh fluidly, but Mastodon users can see Lemmy posts and comments and like and reply to them, and I believe even post. Lemmy users can interact when Mastodon users come into Lemmy but are limited in discovering other Mastodon content.
Yes, they can post. They only need to make sure the community IS federated to there instance and then mention it in the toot that is the first of its thread.
It's possible to leave a redirect information on the old profile. Normally all your followers are informed about this and automatically follow the new account.
Anyway: this means that you depend on your old profile and server to work at that moment. If the server completely vanishes or if you're banned by the admin for whatever reason you can't set that redirect information.
By the way it's worthwhile to consider that in the case of Bluesky at least right now the whole portability of profiles is depending on some kind of centralized Meta server in the background that manages the identities. Bluesky claims that this won't be necessary in the future, but right now it does afaik still work like this.
If you migrate, people will automatically follow you on the new account, I've done it cca month ago.
I thought Blue Sky wasn't based on ActivityPub at all. Isn't a different implementation better than no implementation?
