@various_characters as far as I can see, the links are going to the original site (worldtracker[.]org), which is now redirecting to some sketchy website…

@Hatchet i mean, this one is technically already different

i can comment from mastodon

you couldn’t do that with the other “alternatives”

activitypub is great

@mondoman712 nice to know there’s a test group for next time i want to test things, thanks

do you know if there are any test groups on other servers?

@GuyDudeman hey, the comment actually got to me this time, nice to know it was probbaly more of a federation issue for that server

anyway, seems that for lemmy, it just goes to the first mentioned group (not any others) for now.

@crossmr thanks for this post, this server has been involved in spam for almost two months so I alerted the microblog side of fedi

I noticed [email protected] was followed by two kbin.social users, and kbin has an “interesting” feature where a microblog post goes into the magazine named after its first hashtag (if it exists), hence why your subs are getting them

i think the two kbin.social users might have followed this user by mistake. i checked their profiles and they both look legitimate to me.

@ulu_mulu I noticed; however interestingly my server didn’t get sent the comment (probably because I don’t follow the group, or maybe because I’m too impatient)…

I guess for lemmy something like this would be an edge case though?

@wason not sure about lemmy. i know kbin has support with its microblog functionality and how any post coming in from a remote server that isn’t to a group goes to a “random” magazine

@Evono other than the PWA, I don’t know

@Zeth0s Not sure about lemmy, but I know you can from kbin (it has a “microblog” section for that)

@DarkTides that’s one of the great things about using an open protocol

sure the UX is basically non-existent, but it works!

hopefully a better client will happen eventually to make it easier for people to understand.

@DarkTides yeah! they both work with activitypub!

I don’t follow any groups/magazines/whatever directly from mastodon (because they’d clog my feed).

However, you can copy the post or comment links, paste them into the search bar in mastodon, and then boost/favourite/reply :)

It’s a little bit awkward, but you get used to it.

Favourite in mastodon turns into an upvote on the lemmy/kbin side. Boost doesn’t really do much on lemmy/kbin (yet) but does increase reach on the mastodon side as it always does.

And replies, naturally, show up as you’d expect :)

@DarkTides @db0 i mean, i’m commenting on this thread from mastodon so…

@econpol @corytheboyd i wonder what makes anybody think nobody will donate, quite a few fedi servers manage to survive off of donations

i think a couple of fedi servers are semi-private with paid accounts on a subscription basis, too

@corytheboyd Other fedi projects changed their public terminology to use “servers” instead of “instances”, which is why I said “more servers”.

@corytheboyd By “more servers” I mean “more instances”.

@AlmightySnoo fediverse is supposed to scale with more servers, not bigger servers
