Comment on Is Firefish gone for good now? Many of the links I had saved are redirecting to other stuff now
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 weeks agoI’ll keep an eye on Iceshrimp. I always wanted to like Mastodon, but the chronological feed never did it for me - I think I’ve been spoiled by algorithms. Antennas in Firefish seemed like a decent compromise.
I also wish there was an app that let me browse/post/comment on Lemmy using a Firefish/Iceshrimp account so I could theoretically consolidate accounts.

that’ll be difficult. Lemmy killed interoperability when they first decided that users and groups could share the same username, and now itd be a breaking change in order to solve this on Lemmy’s end.
each software willing to federate with Lemmy correctly needs to be modified to handle multiple “users” having the exact same username, and i suspect most have more important priorities to tackle before getting to that

Wait, what? Can a Lemmy be instance have a /c/foo and /u/foo at the same time?

I haven’t been keeping up on backend development so I didn’t realise Lemmy made that change. That’s a shame. Thanks for being so helpful though!

oh no that’s not a new change afaik it was always like this

I’m fairly sure I was able to comment on Lemmy threads while experimenting with Firefish like a year ago - though it of course struggled with displaying threaded content.
