I used to say “Welcome to Lemmy” to new joiners, but nowadays quite a few of them join Piefed instance, having a generic term is easier
You can’t follow Mastodon users from Lemmy or Piefed, using “Fedivers” seems too generic

Except that, apparently you can? A recent post I made on Lemmy had replies from Mastodon accounts afaict
Interacting with Lemmy threads from Mastodon is easy, the inverse not so much
Each threadiverse community is visible as a single user in Mastodon. All the comments come into one pile, not organized into clear threads. It’s a very rudimentary support. But yeah, you can join a threadiverse conversation from Mastodon, but you cannot share any Mastodon content in threadiverse.
From within Lemmy, there is zero possibility to utter anything on Mastodon, except as a reply to a message a Mastodon user has made in a threadiverse community.
It’s actually very easy checking how this conversation looks from within Mastodon! Just go to any Mastodon instance (such as http://mastodontti.fi/ ) with your web browser, click the search tool and search for a “user” called @[email protected] .
Yep only Mbin achieve that :3
NodeBB too :blush:
NodeBB too, wow ! And fell free to present NodeBB here. ☺️
[email protected] ?
Lemmy and Mastodon can interact (yay federation!) but you can’t follow microblog users from Lemmy.
Up until recently, communities couldn’t follow other communities, because it’s just not a “thing” Lemmy or Piefed do. Users follow communities, yeah?
Except NodeBB tries to have communities follow communities. :)
