Hello,

I have been on Lemmy for a while and heard we can federate to Mastadon.

How do I sub or get the feed on my page?

Mastodon allows you to follow users, which Lemmy doesn’t. So you can follow users on here but there is, currently, no facility to follow users over there. I imagine this will change eventually.

The federation with Mastodon is mostly one-way: We can’t see or comment on Mastodon posts, but Mastodon users can see and comment on Lemmy posts.

Mastodon’s like Twitter… its posts wouldn’t fit in the Lemmy UI well. Though I hear kbin works well with both Mastodon-style and Lemmy-style posts.

Right. I have kbin. Will try seeing how that works.

Thanks!

Activity Pub has a few parts, Lemmy implements the Threaded message part.

Mastodon implements a short messaging (posts) part. Meta’s Threads will implement this.

KBin implemented both parts, within KBin you’ll see microblog as an option for magazines (communities/subredits). This shows either ‘posts’ made to the magazine or posts with hastags associated with the magazine.

The posts and threaded message parts have overlap in how they work so mastodon users can see certain threaded messages and comment on them.
