    TIL that Lemmy and Mastadon are linked? I stopped using Mastadon because there was fuck-all being posted, except by the news outlets that I followed, and even tags corresponding to massive fanbases sometimes had fewer than a dozen entries…

      We’re all part of the Fediverse which includes Masto, Pixel, PieFed, Lemmy etc all communicating on the same interoperable ActivityPub protocol

      Under that is the “Lemmy-verse/Thrediverse” that is what would be “link aggregator” type social media (eg reddit) and includes PieFed, Lemmy, MBin etc.

      While very cool in that it basically ruins the whole notion of centralized Social media, it has its quirks. Like what this meme is about, there’s no perfect way to translate a Lemmy reply to a mastodon user or a masto reply to a Lemmy post for a Lemmy user

        Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I have yet to see any Mastadon content on here, or visa versa, but I’m still just dipping my toe into Lemmy without the tech know-how.

        And PeerTube ideally, though it doesn’t seem to work properly at the moment. You can see channels (as a community), but posts don’t seem to be resolved.

          yeah once all three level up and improve integration, corpo socials will get cooked. youtube will be a lot harder to take down but hopefully can be built on success of the the other projects to make peertube viable. it will require proper capital thought, i am not sure how will get handled but it would have to be community capital since VC cash is toxic.
