@asklemmy So, is this how I post to a Lemmy group if I’m only on Mastodon and haven’t even made a Lemmy profile?..

      You are in this thread!

      You can’t see all of mastodon from lemmy though. Only when a mastodon user interacts with lemmy.

      This can be done in two ways.

      1. Replying to a lemmy post or comment (they can upvote too)
      2. Creating a new post to a lemmy community, which is what this post is.

      But because mastodon (and microblogging generally as there are other fediverse microblogging performs) is based on following people, and you can’t follow people on lemmy, all of the interpersonal mastodon stuff, though public, is not visible to lemmy.

        La finalidad de lemmy no es el toot, sino el hilo y debate que se genera. Es muy obvio que deje de seguir todo lo que publica en mastodon porque no tiene nada que ver con el tema o hilo que se sigue en Lemmy.

      I feel like every video I watch and article I read kind of just glosses over some of the basics, but I don’t see many people really exploring the possibilities with the Fediverse. Honestly, my head is swimming with possibilities. I’m still trying to understand all these Lego pieces. I feel like this cross platform interaction is really the Fediverse’s “killer app” functionality. Nothing else like this across the “Old web” platforms…
