A little bit of computing and a little bit of neuroscience.

Friendica definitely is one of the underrated fediverse platforms.
Many bounce off of it because it seems a bit slow and its UI is dated. But in terms of the general ideas about what the fediverse can be and the functionality it’s implemented, it’s very interesting and it would be awesome for it to seem more love.

You should be able to, yes, just as I am here.
Copy the link to the lemmy post/comment, and search for it in the mastodon interface. It should get fetched and come up. Then you can just reply (and like) as you normally would.
Beyond that you can follow lemmy communities and users normally. Following communities might flood your timeline as comments as well as posts will go in there.

I used search on lemmy 🤫
You’ve already cited the source! Ernest says as much in the second sentence of the “Kbin Server Update” post.
@fediversereport @fediverse @fediversenews
Just skimming through … somehow caught a link to an estimate of mine on lemmy’s true size (god I hope that number is reasonable … it was a very rough estimate!)
Otherwise, the comment about kbin’s active users … kbin doesn’t track active users AFAIK (I’ve read ernest say as much) … it’s more or less the same as their total user count +/- weird variation.
@vamp07 Yea, I agree, I think the combination done in kbin will be what some people want while others will prefer the relative focus and simplicity of lemmy.
Curious why you think that (I’m inclined to agree FWIW).

Honestly not sure the situation is nearly as clean cut as a blanket statement like this makes it out … and honestly, for an ecosystem that’s still trying to get off of the ground and work itself out … the virality of “bad news” really ought to be avoided.
I could be mistaken, but the deal is that the devs have a political position, understand that not everyone shares it, and encourage new communities/instances and forks.
@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars hmm I was wrong. That got boosted just fine. And created a new post on fuck cars. Embarrassing.
It was because the posts were unlisted it seems. And this too … confusing.
Sorry for the noise. May delete.
Still not sure why your previous posts were t boosted or appearing on fuck_cars. Because others where also addressed?
@masimatutu
Yea. Generally a good demonstration of how the promise of the fediverse isn’t really there yet.
Lemmy does groups and mastodon does users with neither really understanding the other.
I think there’s more scope for lemmy to cover the user side of social media than mastodon the groups side. Kbin is an example of a continuing effort to do that.
If some keen devs got involved, I’d suspect lemmy could add some good user based functionality.The core devs have recognised it’d be good.
