@ThorrJo @selfhosted I suspect its a fluke this works at all ๐Ÿ˜†. ActivityPub objects are all kind-of the same, and it's on the developer to decide how to use them. "Reddiverse" (?) software organizes posts into threads, and microblogers sort them into streams.

@ElectroVagrant ๐ŸŽ‰

EDIT: Ah interesting. I see the pencil icon on Lemmy for your edit, but my edits aren't marked with an icon. That feels like cheating. ๐Ÿ˜†

EDIT2: I stand corrected, the pencil appeared later. I wonder if this one will change too?

EDIT3: Yes it does. Another curiosity, but I swear that the comment count for this thread goes up every time I edit. ๐Ÿค”

EDIT4: Confirmed (for Lemmy at least). After I push send the comment count should say 31.

@ElectroVagrant I wonder if this will work too?

(I'm using the "content warning" feature of Mastodon, and replying directly to a lemmy.world user)

EDIT: Okay the content warning didn't work, but it appears that so long as I @ someone on the server that owns the group (it doesn't have to be the group),my messages will federate correctly. Also if you can read this, Mastodon's edit federation works too. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Ha, honestly I'm impressed that any of this is working at all. ๐Ÿ˜†

By the way, to anyone reading this, in my previous reply I omitted the mention of @selfhosted. The reply didn't show up on #Lemmy until @NumbersCanBeFun replied to it.

@roosmaa @selfhosted Ha, I'm happy to have helped answer the question. ๐Ÿ˜†

This was supposed to just be a toot to my feed sharing that I figured out how to follow groups from Mastodon. I was not expecting to stumble across how to post to groups using Mastodon too. ๐Ÿ˜…

@Eddie I would love more interoperability. ๐Ÿ˜‰

It makes me wonder if the "thing" to dethrone #Mastodon will be an alternative server/client/app that speaks multiple #Fediverse application protocols? I'm jealous that a #Lemmy server requires a _fraction_ of the RAM that a #KBin or Mastodon server does.

(Obligitory @selfhosted for Lemmy to notice me)

Oops! I didn't expect this to start a thread on @selfhosted (I posted this from Mastodon). Hello other Fediverse friends. ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] mike@jammer.social 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

@Eddie If you include the group name (@selfhosted) it seems to work, but this isn't really practical.

[โ€“] mike@jammer.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@NumbersCanBeFun Okay that was unexpected. I managed to post a new topic and reply to Lemmy.world using my Mastodon client. That was supposed to be a "thinking out loud" toot. ๐Ÿ˜…

I attached some images to my first reply, but they were ignored. I wonder if my server strips out markdown? ๐Ÿค”

@NumbersCanBeFun @selfhosted Oh wow, I didn't realize this would actually cross post to Lemmy.world. ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] mike@jammer.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh wow, I didn't realize I actually cross posted to #Lemmy by @'ing the group. ๐Ÿ˜…

 

So I did figure out that yes, #Mastodon can federate #Lemmy and #Kbin content. The problem is that Mastodon doesn't know what to do with it, so it (the group) looks like a user that boosts all posts and comments.

I found myself browsing the "federated group" @selfhosted over on https://kbin.social, as I think Kbin has a nicer UX for it.

I didn't really want to create a separate account for group stuff, but that might be what we do in the short term. ๐Ÿค”
