Just echoing a class I had in high school.
My social studies teacher ran the whole year as "micro community." There were three different classes per year, and each class was a community. Each student had a role within the community, and performed actual job duties necessary to keep things functioning. For example, I was a banker and had to cash checks. After tests, we got checks based on test scores, so you got (fake) money to spend on stuff. We had to pay a utility bill or he would turn off the lights and not use the projector for notes. The kid running the power company would collect that money.
The best part was the stock market. Each community was also a company whose share value depended on overall test scores. So you could invest in whichever class you thought would score the highest.
Wow! That is so creative and thoughtful. I wish everyone has a teacher like that who truly loves the profession and respects the impact they have on their students' lives.
I was wondering what was going on with that post. I’m glad it resonated with people across the fediverse. Cool!
Now I’ve got to figure out how to log into Mastadon with my Lemmy account. I didn’t even realize this was a thing.
@maxprime@lemmy.ml You can't log into other Fediverse services using your Lemmy account. It's a Lemmy account for your specific Lemmy instance and doesn't work anywhere else.
What you can do is talk to people on other Fediverse services with your Lemmy account on your instance in the same way you are communicating with people from other Lemmy instances.
For example, the op you are replying to is using Friendica, you are using Lemmy and I am using Firefish right now.
Iirc, you can't log into Mastadon with a lemmy account, but there should be a way to follow a mastodon account from a lemmy instance.
Never tried it, though.
Edit: Apparently, it's not possible either. Mastodon users can follow lemmy communities, but not the other way around. 😔
That's the most intricate way I've ever heard of someone trying to find a meme they once saved and can't find it

Here's a link to @maxprime@lemmy.ml's comment: https://lemmy.ml/comment/6075385
The tragedy here is that you had to make a screenshot to then upload to Mastodon, only later to come here and have to point out where the original post is. It would be great if you could have made the post on Mastodon simply by linking to the original post and then the format would have looked just as good as the screenshot, and then both sides of the Fediverse could converse. Or, the opposite could happen.
I've talked about this kind of thing before https://lemm.ee/post/4955936 and some are confident this is how things will eventually end up, so I hope they're right.
Friendica does this already! This is how I see your comment:
Well that didn't quite work, did it? Here's the screenshot:
Ah, I see. Lemmy handles comment images differently from the rest of the Fediverse, even including kbin. Annoying.
I wish Lemmy would make instance agnostic post and comment links. With the current system it's impossible, as every instance assigns its own number. Instead, links could be in the form https://your instance/comment/number@hostinstance
The GitHub issue is here, you could put a thumbs up reaction on it, and also subscribe to the issue to get updates about it
Done. I hadn't seen that issue before, not that I really dig into github all that much.
However the issue is somewhat outdated. We do have instance agnostic links for communities and users now, and we have since I joined, which was less than 2 weeks after this issue was posted. We may need a new updated issue that focuses on posts and comments specifically.
While I completely agree, a partial solution is to use clients that open fediverse links locally. I use Eternity which does it nicely.
That works for a Lemmy user, but it doesn't help for sharing on other platforms or for users discovering content elsewhere
Yeah. I really hope someone writes a Firefox extension or something which automatically redirects all Fediverse links to one's preferred instances. Enforcing a standard across a giant decentralised network is difficult.
There are a few extensions, but I don't think there's one extension to rule them all yet:
- !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca is what I use for Lemmy
- There's this one for Mastodon

Update: I'm on Universeodon, which has comparatively modest numbers compared to mastodon.social. Mastodon.social has registered 249 boosts as of now! Favourites are difficult to measure but based on upvotes registered on lemmy.ml minus the ones registered by mander.xyz it'll be around 400. Way to go, Fediverse!
Is this how stats will be reported on the Fediverse?
Somehow I hope not, and so, at the same time...
What's mastodon?
Mastodon is to Twitter as Lemmy is to Reddit.
Federated alternative to shXtter
just say xitter
The formerly successful site known as Twitter.
