Since Lemmy and Mastadon are Federated, Could I post on Mastadon? How?

14 comments

Not quite. Lemmy isn't set up to make microblog posts, but mastodon users can still see community posts and comments and reply.

If a mastodon user comments on AA Lemmy post, and a Lemmy user replies, it will be delivered to the mastodon user. I've not tried posting to a mastodon user directly though.

Paging myself at @baronvonj@mas.to to see if this works.

  It does indeed work. So you can post directly to a mastodon user from a Lemmy post comments section.

I don't think you can do microblogging like on mbin, but I think you can directly write and reply to Mastodon users, and posts with hashtags should also be able to be found by Mastodon users if they look for them. I don't think Lemmy threads have a hashtag field like mbin either though, so you would have to manually type them out when making a new thread.

Yes, but no.

@pineapplelover @tezoatlipoca You just did! It’s ActivityPub all the way down.

If some user follows you or community it will get federated into mastodon. Otherwise you can't relly push the post into mastodon.
