91 boosts and still going strong. Federation works, everyone!
I was wondering what was going on with that post. I’m glad it resonated with people across the fediverse. Cool!
Now I’ve got to figure out how to log into Mastadon with my Lemmy account. I didn’t even realize this was a thing.
@maxprime@lemmy.ml You can't log into other Fediverse services using your Lemmy account. It's a Lemmy account for your specific Lemmy instance and doesn't work anywhere else.
What you can do is talk to people on other Fediverse services with your Lemmy account on your instance in the same way you are communicating with people from other Lemmy instances.
For example, the op you are replying to is using Friendica, you are using Lemmy and I am using Firefish right now.
I like to explain it like email or even phone providers. You can call someone on Verizon even if you're on ATT but you can't pay Verizon for your ATT bill
Iirc, you can't log into Mastadon with a lemmy account, but there should be a way to follow a mastodon account from a lemmy instance.
Never tried it, though.
Edit: Apparently, it's not possible either. Mastodon users can follow lemmy communities, but not the other way around. 😔
There isn't, it works only Mastodon->Lemmy currently, not the other way around.
Edit: You can interact with Mastodon, but only if they interact with Lemmy first, you can react to their posts, but they need to do the first step, as far as I know.
This is so wholesome, the world needs to support teachers like this!
Just echoing a class I had in high school.
My social studies teacher ran the whole year as "micro community." There were three different classes per year, and each class was a community. Each student had a role within the community, and performed actual job duties necessary to keep things functioning. For example, I was a banker and had to cash checks. After tests, we got checks based on test scores, so you got (fake) money to spend on stuff. We had to pay a utility bill or he would turn off the lights and not use the projector for notes. The kid running the power company would collect that money.
The best part was the stock market. Each community was also a company whose share value depended on overall test scores. So you could invest in whichever class you thought would score the highest.
Wow! That is so creative and thoughtful. I wish everyone has a teacher like that who truly loves the profession and respects the impact they have on their students' lives.
I hope this is real; and if it is, I hope there are more teachers like this.
That's the most intricate way I've ever heard of someone trying to find a meme they once saved and can't find it
What's mastodon?
Federated alternative to shXtter
just say xitter
The formerly successful site known as Twitter.
or (ex)twitter
Mastodon is to Twitter as Lemmy is to Reddit.
Way to make me feel silly for having both an account on both a Mastodon server and a Lemmy server! ;)
I love both Mastodon and Lemmy, but they usually don't federate very well with each other, so one cannot replace the other: Lemmy users cannot see microblog posts which aren't connected to any community and Mastodon doesn't show the body of Lemmy posts. Currently trying out Friendica, which manages all parts of the Fediverse reasonably well.
Interesting - will look into Friendica. I just hacked up the latest stable release of Lemmy to run on OpenBSD but it’s not something I think I want to maintain long-term. Looking for something that will last a while, kinda like email but maybe not that long!
Is it possible to migrate from Mastodon to friendica? And how are the mobile apps?

Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
