Comment on Change My Mind: The Fediverse is not as connected as were told, and it's splintering even more.

The idea that you might want Lemmy and Mastodon to work well together is honestly kind of silly to me.
They are structured and built from the ground up to be entirely different kinds of social platforms. Mastodon is structured around people. Fundamentally it’s simply a kind of blog network. Lemmy is structured around topics and conversation. It’s essentially a forum network. I can’t see a way they could blend seamlessly, forget if they should.

Kbin already integrates Mastodon. It’s seamless enough that I find myself commenting on people’s toots without even realising.

Can you Boost, favorite, mention, or direct message them? No not really. It’s a very limited subset of the Mastodon experience. They have vastly different feature sets, mostly without corresponding analogs. That’s not remotely what I would call seamless.
Or maybe it literally is seamless. There are lots of missing and incomplete pieces that would need to be stitched together, but aren’t.

I just checked and yes, yes, didn’t try but have seen others do so before, and yes.

That impressive then. I don’t know.
