Hi everyone!

I'm new here and I wonder if you have any advice/testimonials to share regarding Fediverse interoperability.

I'm working on a post about it for my blog series The Future is Federated. I’d like to do a show & tell, demonstrating what interoperability looks like between #Lemmy and #Friendica, #Mastodon + a federated blog to start with.

There’s a superb post by @informapirata@mastodon.uno about Lemmy and Friendica communities: https://www.informapirata.it/2024/01/02/mastodon-tips-how-to-use-friendica-groups-forums-and-lemmy-communities/ and I wonder if you have ever tried further integrations.

I know this sounds crazy, but does #Phanpy work with Lemmy? I’m asking because I use it with not only #Mastodon but also #Pixelfed and Friendica.

Anyway, any testimonials and tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have only observed Lemmy->Mastodon and Mastodon->Lemmy

If I follow a community, in mastodon it will show as boosts and will show Title + link to the original post with all the comments also as boosts. It has some probability of working. Not always. I couldn't get hashtags to work.

If someone mentions some lemmy community it will get federated into that community but only into first mentioned community. The first line of a microblog will be set as a title. When users write hashtags and mentions first, it will be unreadable. Not all replies will get federated back and forth.

P.S. I have seen kbin [R.I.P] (Long Live Mbin) posts on lemmy and it worked good

Thank you for the explanation! Follow-up question: if you follow a Lemmy community in Mastodon, do you feel like your feed is filled with messages from that community? Like, does it get noisy fast? (But I'm thinking if they show up as boosts I could simply filter out boosts in my Ivory app)...

You can put Lemmy communities in lists so they don't spam your home feed. https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon/

Very similar to a.gup.pe groups but even more disjointed. It also depends if community has thousands of active users or just a dozen.

Wait, you can follow Mastadon from Lemmy already? How?

~~You can federate and respond but not really follow.~~

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Okay, but how.

I just checked. You can respond if someone mentioned the lemmy community and there is a post on lemmy to respond to and that response will be seen on mastodon.
