lol okay here me out, I am enough capable of looking up info on these communities myself through probably one or two web engine searches, but then again we also have to consider that:

  • It is a funny title.
  • I keep forgetting it.

So really though, what I wanted to know was are we able to communicate with people on the *don instances?

Teach me of this world 🔭

    I believe the current state is:

    • Mastodon users can participate on Lemmy
    • Lemmy users cannot follow Mastodon users

    So you may see comments or posts from Mastodon users who have posted to Lemmy, but if you want to follow Mastodon users you’ll need a Mastodon account.

    There is a middle ground. Mbin allows you to participate on both Lemmy and Mastodon.

      Yeah, that sounds right.

      I tried following Lemmy users on Mastadon. It was a cool to see that it’s technologically possible, but it was not a pleasant way to consume Lemmy content.

      You can also help #Mastodon visibility / discoverability by adding #hashtags. #Mbin even has a hashtag field on thread creation for this but #Lemmy in one of the more recent updates added general #hashtag support as well.
