@fediverse posting this from mastodon. It’s amazing if this works!
Edit: it worked! Showed up in my Lemmy feed.
I wonder if the first days of SMTP were like this—people sending emails to each other in amazement that messages could reach people on other servers.
I remember the early days of instant messaging where people would just jump in a chatroom and ask where others were from, then sit there in awe. “HONEY, I’m talking to someone from Ireland! HONEY! Come look!”
And here I am in Ireland reading your message now
Go to bed
I made my honey look.
a/s/l - the classic first message from anyone in 2001.
Interesting times we’re are coming to, folks!
I was on usenet in the 90s. It was WILD. I remember trying to explain it to my mom, and she just didn’t quite grasp it. When I told her I was talking to someone from Germany, she asked if she was gonna have to pay for that, because it was long distance. Bless her heart.
I saw “Blackberry” yesterday and it was a really good experience putting you in the context of those times.
There is one scene where they type a message and wait for it to show up on another device. After a few seconds, it is there and every engineer in the room celebrates.
Then, management/sales guy comes in and they tell about what they’ve just done. He goes yeah, nice, but we do it already, it’s called SMS.
The engineers then say that he is not getting the point. It was a message sent through the network using data, 0 dollars and all and salesman’s eye get brighter.
So yes, I think the sensation was alike.
Woah, so the big 3 (Mastodon, Kbin, and Lemmy) of the fediverse text/discussion-based social media can all used from a single account/feed. That’s awesome!
How can i learn more about how all of that works? Do you have any experience yet?
@Xylight@mastodon.social @fediverse@lemmy.world Greetings from my personal Calckey instance!
Absolutely wild that this works lmao, ActivityPub is crazy
Oh wow, it actually works!
It’s wild that you can communicate like this across websites
Across systems even. A front page that looks like half content aggregation, half microblogging, that’s mad. That’s awesome!
I’d love to get an explanation of how you made this work, because when I attempt to even follow my Mastodon account from Lemmy, it does not work.
Hi from lemmy.ml. The fediverse is so awesome!
Hi from Lemmyworld 👍
We were here for history
I was lounging in my recliner when it happened!
Laying on me couch!
Hi from my personal instance!!!
Bro, could you help me set one up ._. I tried docker, ansible, from scratch using rust, and I kept running into an error. I tried all three methods several times on Debian 11, Debian 12, and Ubuntu 20.
Was there a guide outside of the official docs or am I just too inexperienced? Like with the from scratch setup, had all dependencies listed installed, but every time rust starts opening crates after a minute it just throws some error.
I was up and running in about 5 minutes with Lemmy Easy Deploy. I can’t recommend it enough.
Dude where’s you find this! Finally I have an instance lol. Thousand thanks.
Replying so I can check this out later
I also was interested. Thank you
How interesting! It’s nice to see the Fediverse in action.

Interesting to see lol. I know little of mastodon. Would seeing @ at the start of comments be a sign of users from it or is that only when replying to comments?
Hopefully that makes sense to you.
It’s basically a default action when replying to someone in Mastodon. It puts their username at the front.
Thanks for explaining!
I should give mastodon a try too one day.
Technically, you ARE on Mastodon now! Your comments are showing up here!
Woooo fediverse!
Love how this is all connected and each have their own identity/features still.
Test 1, 2?
Edit: It worked! I’m on TV!
That’s so cool!

You can follow an entire Lemmy community. If you do that, every COMMENT will show up in your Mastodon feed. If you see a comment you are interested in, clicking on it will give the post and the context for that comment!

The best part is this huge spike just means more devs coming to the platform! Kbin is good, but maybe someone comes out with a new application that can easily do all of this even better!
How’d you do that?!
@Squiglet just the power of the fediverse, I guess. Also posting this reply from mastodon.
To post from Mastodont to lemmy you just need to use “@” followed by community name?
@Squiglet @Xylight Pretty much, although you’ll want to differentiate between @fediverse@lemmy.world and other instances (i.e. @fediverse@lemmy.ml)
Interesting that I can reply to you without “@”. Forgive my ignorance, I never used Twitter or Mastodon.
@Squiglet Neither have I until now😂. Was a redditor for 10 years until the API change and never could get into Twitter.
I’m assuming the @ from Mastodon is just because it’s the default way for it to display in posts. Lemmy uses the @ for replies but doesn’t display it in the comment.
pretty much like /u/ on reddit
@ always looked wierd to me tho, it’s more of a surname if that makes sense
