I’m starting to find some of the cooler aspects of the wider fediverse.
For instance, Lemmy is a Reddit clone that is picking up some migration after the recent hooha or at Reddit.
The cool thing is that it’s federated (same as mastodon, different instances and everything).
This means that you can subscribe to any community on Lemmy, for instance
https://lemmy.world/c/showerthoughts
through its fediverse address, right here on your mastodon instance:
You can also accidentally post to a Lemmy community by tagging it in your Mastodon post. Hi from Lemmy!
@TeaHands Oops… hi! With great power, comes great responsibility, I guess.
(I suppose this could technically be a shower thought. It’s sort of on topic…)
It is awesome, But lemmy has still a long way to go in terms of federation, e.g. I can not follow a mastodon user/hashtag from lemmy
If you want a combination of following people and communities, that’s basically the premise of Kbin, if I understand right. Not sure they support hashtags, though.
