So I did figure out that yes, #Mastodon can federate #Lemmy and #Kbin content. The problem is that Mastodon doesn’t know what to do with it, so it (the group) looks like a user that boosts all posts and comments.
I found myself browsing the “federated group” @selfhosted over on https://kbin.social, as I think Kbin has a nicer UX for it.
I didn’t really want to create a separate account for group stuff, but that might be what we do in the short term. 🤔
@Eddie I would love more interoperability. 😉
It makes me wonder if the “thing” to dethrone #Mastodon will be an alternative server/client/app that speaks multiple #Fediverse application protocols? I’m jealous that a #Lemmy server requires a _fraction_ of the RAM that a #KBin or Mastodon server does.
(Obligitory @selfhosted for Lemmy to notice me)
That sounds to be the most attractive way to fit into the fediverse the way it’s set up right now. I really like how kbin has support for microblogging and link aggregation however I find it hard to interoperate between different platforms like you can on lemmy/mastodon.
Once a platform nails all of this, I feel like that will be the thing to use in terms of a “master account to rule them all” type deal. That’s what I want anyway >:)
