@fediverse Have you ever wondered how Lemmy and Mastodon federate?
Well, I made a few tests and put it all in an easy to read table! Take a look!

Some things may be wrong or missing but if you notice that, tell me and I'll update it!
(Yeah! I'm even posting this from Mastodon! How cool is that?)
This is a neat overview!! I like to post federate my posts from fediverse microblogs as well, and did some tests.
Here are a few of my notes: Viewing communities (from Mastodon) - that kind of depends? All communities I follow show up with their posts intact on mastodon (.social), but not when I use a different instance (e.g. mastodon.de) or software (examples: RenPy, Otome Games
Viewing profiles (from Mastodon) - That also seems to depend on the instance. For example, here’s my profile as seen from mastodon.social. Viewing it from my Mastodon account, I can see all of the original posts and replies.
thanks a bunch for your contribution <3
Nice. Now try PieFed and MBin 😊

They can indeed federate, but IMO it’s not useful beyond simple posts.
There is no way to “sync” the text heading/URL/thumbnail.
