@Ephera @datavoid Since you can “follow” hashtags in your main Mastodon feed, they kind of act like channels. Also, for some theme-based servers, you can browse their local timelines.

@ImOnADiet Yes. I was able to search and find @opensource as a “user” in my Mastodon clients.

@dessalines Wow, my reply using a Mastodon web client ( https://elk.zone/ ) actually gets picked up by the Lemmy server!

If Apollo were to be rewritten as a Lemmy / ActivityPub client, it could inter-operate with all those new Mastodon clients too...

@dessalines An an avid Apollo user, this is really bad news. But if it pushes some of its users towards the Fediverse, then it's not a total loss.
