Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites? (lemm.ee)

I've always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I'm just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.

If I'm right Lemmy devs haven't implemented observing others platforms yet. I mean Mastodon, Pixelfed and the others.

If the person who posts on mastodon mentions a community on lemmy, their toot appears as a post in that community on lemmy. It happened on !thunder_app@lemmy.world

I posted my cat to !cat from my mastodon

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !cat@lemmy.world

I see mastodon users here once in a while. kbin users, too!

Mastodon users can see Lemmy posts, but I'm not sure if it works the other way around unless the Mastodon post is specifically to a Lemmy community. Kbin magazines do show up on Lemmy though

Yeah, I'm interested in being able to access Funkwhale and Lemmy from the same place, myself.
