In light of the proverbial hitting the fan over at #reddit I am considering giving @kbin or @lemmy a go. I think I can follow/interact with their communities from here? isn't that enabled with ActivityPub? if so, then that is fantastic :D

Can you? Yes. This popped up in my feed on Lemmy.

Mastodon's UI really isn't built for it though

Indeed, I'm seeing this post from Lemmy too

@bdonvr yeah I am thinking which interface would be the best for me to interact with both from. I wonder could I use my mastodon account to login to lemmy and then manage both from that UI? Would that be asking too much, I wonder?

You can't login to another instance. You can interact with pretty much anything with one account, but you still only have one account.

Give wefwef.app a shot

Already starting to feel like Apollo a little

@OtakuAltair looks good on mobile. I'll for sure check it out. Does it look good on a desktop browser also?

[–] OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

Probably not. I'm using this on pc rn

Hopefully these ux tweaks will all be combined into an extension at some point, kinda like RES

@techcelt @kbin @lemmy I've been on @lemmy since the #spez fiasco and I'm telling you, it's the new front page of the Internet. No question. Federated media is what the internet was designed for.

@interstellar_wind @kbin @lemmy https://sub.rehab is a site that I came across. It shows fediverse versions of some of the popular subreddits

Lemmy doesn't federate with Mastodon (yet), but I believe kbin can. Mastodon can federate with Lemmy and kbin. Unless you really like that Twitter style interface, I feel Lemmy or kbin offers a better experience. Lemmy and kbin use the Reddit style which I think is a better format, but that's also subjective. You can go to any kbin or Lemmy instance from your browser and take a look at it. You don't get all the features until you create an account and login, but you can get a good idea.

You're replyin to a post on Maseodon though?

[–] rm_dash_r_star@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

On Lemmy I can interact with posts that originate from Mastodon, but I can't connect to Mastodon and see new content there. That's something that will change as Lemmy features get deployed.
