A legal question without the information where in the world you live (country, state, province) cannot possibly get reliable answers.

That isn’t steam, it’s smoke. Smoke from the smoked hams we’re having. Mmmm, smoked hams.
- Comment on Mastodon to Lemmy post formatting rules questions 2 days ago:
Lemmy and Mastodon have somewhat different purposes and integration between them is never going to be perfect. :/ Ultimately you’ll always get better results if you post to the platform you mainly want to target; posts sometimes being visible on the other one too is a side effect.
What would probably be useful for purposes like yours is to have some kind of software that allows the creation of arbitrary or near-arbitrary ActivityPub objects with arbitrary audiences which can include one’s followers or any number of groups. I don’t know how feasible this is or whether someone has already done it.
A few months ago I saw a post on a relatively large Lemmy community that had clearly been intended for the author’s Mastodon followers, but they tagged that Lemmy community (it had a name relevant to the content) apparently not knowing this would publish it to Lemmy. As I recall, this got >100 upvotes on Lemmy, but the Lemmy community’s mods deleted that post after a few hours. (Maybe some readers of this saw it too, it was to a “Europe” community and its content was something like “musKKK get the fuck out of EU politics”.)
- Comment on Lemmy Mastadon (automated crossposting?) interaction issue. 2 days ago:
!kde@lemmy.kde.social is a community that gets a lot of posts like that, try looking at that.

They are (probably), just not unilaterally. If the federal government (Congress) passed a bill allowing it, who would be there to stop it? This is how it is in most countries.
Ultimately, “legal” isn’t a very good claim to make on these questions… a secession that is successful will obviously be considered legal by the seceded country.

and if that had succeeded, the UK parliament would probably have consented to Scotland becoming independent. If the national government agrees to secession, it’s always legal.

mentioning a Lemmy community on Mastodon causes the Mastodon post to appear as a new Lemmy thread on that community AFAIK

There is an open standard for logging into websites with other websites’ credentials, it is called OpenID and long predates ActivityPub (and is independent of it).
- Comment on Could not upvote on another instance [please explain for noob] 4 days ago:
Your specific problem is solved, but just for people reading this thread who may be confused about some concepts:
Your instance of Lemmy or Mastodon, whichever it may be, is just one website that serves as a Reddit or Twitter clone respectively. There isn’t a lot of difference between one single instance of Lemmy or Mastodon on the one hand, and Reddit or Twitter on the other. Just like you need to register and log in on Reddit or Twitter if you want to interact there, you need to do the same on any instance of Lemmy or Mastodon you want to interact on.
So what is the concept of federation then? It doesn’t mean you can log into one website with the credentials of another website. All that federation means is that the website downloads some of its data (posts, comments, status updates, whatever) from other websites running the same or compatible software, instead of getting all of it from its own users (like Reddit and Twitter do).

The link in the OP just leads to “article inactive” right now. I agree that this sounds unlikely enough it’s probably an April Fool’s joke.

- Comment on How does Google make money from Gmail, the google calendar, drive or other services when used with third party front ends? 1 week ago:
I rarely use Google Maps (you really should check out OpenStreetMap and OsmAnd), but I use Android and YouTube a lot.
- Comment on How does Google make money from Gmail, the google calendar, drive or other services when used with third party front ends? 1 week ago:
This still causes you to have a Google account and probably use it for other purposes too, during some of which you will see ads.
- Comment on Kann man das Mastodon Konto verknüpfen? 2 weeks ago:
Du meinst, dass man sich mit einem Login für beides einloggen kann? Soweit ich weiß, nicht möglich.
- Comment on Kann man das Mastodon Konto verknüpfen? 2 weeks ago:
Was meinst du mit “verknüpfen”? Du kannst in dein Profil die Namen deiner anderen Konten irgendwo anders im Internet reinschreiben, was genau ist dein erwünschtes Ergebnis?
