Patch@feddit.uk 1 week agoYou can use Mastodon to interact with Lemmy content and vice versa, but generally speaking the user experience isn’t good. Lots of manually typing URLs and trying to figure out what you’re looking at when you get there.
In theory you could host a Lemmy and Mastodon server under the same domain (using subdomains, e.g. lemmy.feddit.uk and mastodon.feddit.uk), but they’d be different servers in most ways that matter. I presume they would maintain separate user account databases (without some concerted hacking).

I’m hoping at some point that different services will allow shared logins (with APIs it should be relatively straightforward) or a separate ID service (ActivityPods?).

I don’t know why I forgot this, but there is of course already a solution for this; mbin/kbin, which has both Lemmy-like and Mastodon-like interfaces on one platform.
Not that I’m actually suggesting anything you understand. Just recalling that this is a thought process someone’s already had at least once!
