A virtual Lemmy community

Posts from Mastodon users, featured natively in Lemmy, so you can view them without the need for them to be re-hosted or screenshoted, and reply to the original author and Mastodon respondents if you wish.

Has so far included content from Warsandpeas, Mr. Lovenstein, SMBC, Loading Artist, Low Quality Facts, George Takei, and other interesting or provocative stuff I've random'd across on Mastodon.

This community is experimental. It follows people on Mastodon (for now, lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social and MrLovenstein@mastodon.social) and publishes their posts here, keeping them as the author.

This has several advantages over someone else screenshotting their posts and sharing them lemmy, including efficiency, accessibility, searchability and credit, as well as the fact that if you - as a lemmy user - comment on a post, it will go to the original author.

Note 1: As the sidebar mentions, posts and downvotes aren't supported. In practise it means they'll be removed / reverted.

Note 2: It's also possible to follow people on lemmy, of course, but I sense that duplicating their posts here might get annoying
