So there’s a couple of thoughts here, and I’ve only experimented a little bit.

You can post directly from your Mastodon account to a community by calling out the community by its address like @fediverse@lemmy.world in your post (toot) (don’t think anything will happen by me using it here). You’ll see the Mastodon post as a community style post in the community like this: https://lemmy.world/post/1222638

You can my click my mas.to profile and see some things in the Lemmy context - not my verified links, but things like my profile picture and background, bio, Cake day, sending me a message.

I don’t know how to interact with Mastodon users viaa Lemmy or Kbin. Like above if I reference my Mastodon user @hemmes@mas.to I don’t believe anything happens.

So OP’s only options are posting a snapshot or, my choice, he can add the Mastodon post link to his Lemmy community post (in the header not the body) and have the same results as any other web link - the Mastodon media would get a thumbnail in the community post listing, with maybe some relevant content preview, etc. While that will deliver a superior viewing experience, that’s not actually communicating with ActivityPub through the Fediverse, it’s simply a web link to the Mastodon instance server’s user’s post.

Edit: Okay, so it looks like mentioning my mas.to handle does indeed alert me (almost instantly in this case), that’s cool!

This is the way

Yeah, it sounds like her joke was met with a lot of resistance.

Same, and now I’m down to my last instance.

VLemmy, my previous main just…poof, vanished.

.world is on the fritz.

Please .one keep it together.

Structured AF

The mail server records of a domain name do not usually point to the same server as other services like Lemmy.

That would be a fair statement

Out of nowhere the instance went down. I believe it was late Saturday morning or so? It was my main instance and nobody has heard from the admin. He was always very enthusiastic and transparent, actively looking for more admins.

A day or so before it went down, he made a post about having to defederate with another instance due to current violation laws in his server’s country of origin. VLemmy is known for not banning many (if any) instances in favor of moderation, so they take defederation very seriously.

It looks like he got caught up with some bad content and had to shutdown. Not sure how long but all his tip and donation links have been closed including I believe his GitHub.

Instance name checks out

Now let’s see if this goes the way VLemmy did this weekend.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing. There was this great bot that was autocorrecting community links and I was hoping this was possible for post-links on Lemmy instances.

Is there a way to link posts in the context of the reader’s instance? Like with !c community links?
