So I did figure out that yes, #Mastodon can federate #Lemmy and #Kbin content. The problem (cdn.masto.host)

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. 🤔

@mike Interesting, I haven't really messed around too much with Mastodon. I've been primarily been using kbin and I've been happy with just this so far.

@NumbersCanBeFun @selfhosted Oh wow, I didn't realize this would actually cross post to Lemmy.world. 😅

[–] mike@jammer.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@NumbersCanBeFun Okay that was unexpected. I managed to post a new topic and reply to Lemmy.world using my Mastodon client. That was supposed to be a "thinking out loud" toot. 😅

I attached some images to my first reply, but they were ignored. I wonder if my server strips out markdown? 🤔

@mike It's formatted well but whenever I click the link it 404's on me for kbin. I know the server is getting some big upgrades and is under a lot of strain right now, so that might be a factor to consider, at least as far as kbin is concerned.

Ha, honestly I'm impressed that any of this is working at all. 😆

By the way, to anyone reading this, in my previous reply I omitted the mention of @selfhosted. The reply didn't show up on #Lemmy until @NumbersCanBeFun replied to it.
