What's the point then?

IIUC, for now, it will just be that Mastodon users can follow a category on a Discord site, which means that they will see when new topics (threads) are created there (along with an excerpt of the initial post in each topic).

@cypherpunks So, no different from RSS or Atom?

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

basically, yeah. but mastodon can't subscribe to rss/atom feeds, so (butterfly meme) is this... progress? 🤷

[–] Hyolobrika@berserker.town 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@cypherpunks yet. Apparently OStatus could import them natively or something

[–] Hyolobrika@berserker.town 2 points 2 years ago

@cypherpunks why do you need them in Mastodon anyway? Just use a feed reader

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I'd be more interested in connecting lemmy with discourse, as it's a more natural fit, and I'm assuming easier too since they're partially copying lemmy's approach.

[–] sub_ubi@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I'm mostly interested in discourse communities being able to communicate with one another.

@Hyolobrika @cypherpunks fediverse isn't solely for microblogging and forum posts aren't that

[–] Hyolobrika@berserker.town 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@Moon @cypherpunks "isn't" or "is"? Because it isn't, but I can't make sense of your post otherwise.

@Hyolobrika @cypherpunks sorry if my post was confusing. what i mean is that the fediverse can have many types of activities on it, and some of those types are not relevant to display on a microblogging platform like mastodon.

[–] Hyolobrika@berserker.town 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@Moon @cypherpunks That makes sense I suppose. So I guess it's just for Discourse-to-Discourse (or Lemmy) federation. Doesn't seem from a quick skim to mention that though.

@Hyolobrika @cypherpunks forum-to-forum seems reasonable, if it was literally only discourse-to-discourse it would feel like a waste.
