      It is even more annoying on Lemmy clients that show every link in a comment at the bottom of the comment in easy to tap boxes. This is great for 1 or 2, but every mastodon post has everyone @ing everyone else.

      I just downvote it all, block the users, and move on. That shit is annoying.

        Yeah, being able to use Lemmy from Mastodon is great in theory but it’s terrible in practice. I’ve been using Mastodon since 2019 but wouldn’t waste my time trying to use Lemmy with that account. The experience just sucks for mastodon users and lemmy users alike. Fortunately, I’ve somehow managed to figure out how to juggle two separate accounts lol.

        Down down vote, it’s not on purpose, just the limitations of their platform

        Huh. I know Masto doesn’t do Markdown formatting, but I think that would’ve worked here. I guess escaping that does make more sense though

    When I first tried to check out the exodus this idea totally confused me and nearly made me drop the whole fediverse idea.

    All this talk about using mastadon account on lemmy IS BULLSHIT. Sorry but - reading about mastadon account etc made it sound like lemmy is just another mastadon instance. Or another “perspective” on the same underlying data. It kind of works but it’s absolutely confusing and frustrating to try to do this. Just make a new lemmy account - which I was trying to avoid because I thought with federation I should be able to move freely between instances.

    It would be nice to merge these kinds of “social media modes”. I believe reddit tried to do something similar with following users etc. But it’s not there yet and only hampers adoption to advertise this.

      I know people will hate the idea, but these federates services need an SSO somehow.

    Can you make an inverse instructional on how to browse and post to Mastadon from Lemmy? Lol

      Use hashtags in your post body, and it will Federate. :)

          As far as I know. Let’s #test123 Give it a little and see. The more tags, the more federation.

          Edit: Aha! I think it is still open? I thought this worked already as I saw a bot on Github and I follow some communities on Masto.

    @fossilesque This is really neat! I really like being able to be on a completely different instance and commenting/favoriting from other federated instances.
