  What if I told you that you can use Lemmy with Mastodon right now—and that many people do?

    I have heard of the opposite. Mastodon users can see and comment on lemmy posts, but i have yet to discover how to view mastodon post from lemmy.

    If it is indeed possible can you or anyone elaborate how to?

      The mastadon user posting the thing needs to tag the Lenny community and then it will show up like any other post on Lemmy. You wouldn’t even know it’s from Mastodon unless they said so in the post.

        You can usually tell it’s from Mastodon because it’s got a couple dozen hashtags scattered throughout the post and a dozen more users and communities tagged.

      You have misread their comment and understood it backwards. AP’s saying people on Mastodon are engaging in Lemmy discussions.

      There is no way to follow Mastodon users from Lemmy. Lemmy simply does not work that way.

        Hrmmm... at a (strong) guess, PieFed does. You can follow anything, like a community, post, comment (even ones you do not own), or a user account. You would get Notifications triggered every time they post something, I believe. Including comments as well as posts, but again just a guess.

        It's a great way to follow a low-volume something or other! At higher volumes... it can get a bit much, but at least the tools are available, and you can always wipe all Notifications at once if need be.

      The post you’re commenting on was made on a selfhosted instance of akkoma.social, so federation across softwares definitely works.

    No one said you can’t. They said they make sense in their own contexts. The interface is different. Plus I don’t need my inbox blown up with notifications from a dozen Mastodon users tagging me unnecessarily.

      No what was said was the “Groups are Lemmy and hashtags are for Mastodon”.

      That is to say that Groups are not for Mastodon, so Mastodon users should be content with hashtags.

      But Mastodon users use Lemmy groups from Mastodon, and better group integration is already being planned by Mastodon themselves.

      Ergo, groups are for Mastodon.

        No, what was said was that “Groups are Lemmy and hashtags are for Mastodon”.

        …no what? You didn’t contradict what I said. There was no “can’t” in that statement.

    You’re not the first to suggest it, but I still haven’t seen anyone do more than linking one from the other. This feels as inconsequential as posting a Twitter screenshot on Reddit. Is there a deeper integration possible?

      @deegeese @atomicpoet

      I saw this discussion on Lemmy, searched for it with my Mastodon client and, wow, it works! (I guess, we'll see after I hit SEND)

      source

      • deegeese@sopuli.xyz ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I guess it’s cool that you can if you want, but if I’m searching Mastodon I want content on Mastodon, not Lemmy and vice versa.

        I still don’t see the point.

      Is deeper integration possible? Sure, check out how I use !lumoura@piefed with my Akkoma account.

      • deegeese@sopuli.xyz ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Can you be more specific? I don’t see anything.

      @deegeese @atomicpoet hi, this thread literally popped into my mastodon timeline. Only noticed this is not originally from mastodon because you mentioned it and because you don't mention on replies by default. Hope it works as an answer for deeper integration

      • deegeese@sopuli.xyz ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Could you please explain how a Lemmy thread is showing up in Mastodon? I use it too but never see Lemmy there.

      Someone Mastadon could reply to a comment here directly and you may not notice unless you look at their instance.

        Usually, you notice it, as Mastodon automatically adds an @username@instance for everybody the commment replies to, Lemmy doesn’t.

      @deegeese @atomicpoet I answer threads on (one) Lemmy community regularly from my Mastodon account. It's weird but it works and frankly, it's cool!
