Can anybody anywhere in the world 🌍 create a website like lemmy and Mastodon with possibility of creating multiple instances and feed it into the fediverse so that it gets shared into both lemmy and?

    You can post to Mastodon and tag Lemmy community and the Mastodon post will appear as a Lemmy post.

    There are significant limitations to this approach such lack of graceful support for thumbnails, markdown (doesn’t work on the Mastodon side) and URLs. I.e. it’s only good fat basic text posts (or image only posts).

    Yes. This is how the internet was meant to be and how the Fediverse works. I just posted an Owncast lviestream to Lemmy and you could watch the livestream right in Lemmy. SOmeone can comment or like a Peertube video from Mastodon and it reflects on the Peertube video itself. It should all interconnect.

    I’d recommend checking out piefed.social as well as what others recommended.

    Or better yet, build your own if that’s what you’re thinking. :-D Always room in the fediverse for more projects imo!

      An actual interconnected web? Blasphemy

        I know right? Won’t someone think of the shareholders? We need those walls and that lock in.

    Not sure exactly what the question is but I’m fairly sure the answer is yes. 😀 Anyone can start a Lemmy/Mastodon instance and anyone can create new software that federates with it.

      My question is that since Lemmy/Mastodon are centred in Europe and hence is bound to follow the EU norms, can anybody create something similar to this - anywhere in the world outside of EU - and then federate it into lemmy/Mastodon ?

        What makes you think Lemmy is “centered” in the EU?

        Not sure what you mean by “centred”. They’re both just software. Some of the developers certainly live there but they’re both open-source projects with contributors from all over the world. And software doesn’t have an originating country.

    If you mean the ability to post at both at the same time, on the same site, there’s mbin.
