@youshouldknow YSK that you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon, and Mastodon users can interact in Lemmy threads. This is a Mastodon account.

Seems like there’s a new wave of Lemmy users, thought they may find that interesting! It can also work with other Fediverse software as well. It’s all interconnectable. It’s not perfect and there’s some quirks due to Lemmy being a forum and Mastodon being a microblog. But you can ping Mastodon users in threads, and they can reply seamlessly.

      It’s a federated Twitter alternative. It’s existed for a while - the initial release was in 2016, but obviously with all the Musk-related nonsense in the past few years, it’s grown a lot.

        I would be so hyped to see a true dual Lemmy mastodon service that fully allows you to browse and post to both Lemmy and mastodon style feeds. Currently even kbin is really more focused on the Lemmy / piefed end and the microblogging function still requires the posts to be under a magazine meaning masto posts aren’t really browseable and they’re not really fully interact able from both ends. I feel like a service fully compatible with both formats would give a broader reach that would really allow fedi to grow. You’d be able interact with like half of fedi at the same time which would make it feel so much bigger and more comparable in scope to traditional social media.
