Well… it’s worth noting that (IIRC) a record number of people voted in the 2020 election, overall and for each major-party candidate. Are those who chose to vote for Trump not to be counted among “Trump supporters”? It was approximately (but decidedly not quite) half of voters.

lol, no. Being able to do what I want with it is what I have appreciated. It’s like having a computer without that obnoxious glue in the screws so you can take it apart if you want to.

This kind of thing is a huge part of why I fell in love with Linux so long ago.

Ah. So it’s a one-way pipe from Lemmy to Mastodon. It’s not possible to have a Lemmy community set up to mirror a Mastodon hashtag? (perhaps that’s how kbin does things)

It seems to me that you can interact with posts from Mastodon with a Lemmy account, but can only log in to your home server with it. So your view if the world will be Lemmy-like. Probably you could make an account on a Mastodon server and use a Mastodon app with it to interact with Lemmy posts in a Mastodon-flavored way. There’s also kbin, that does both reddit-style posts with an OP, a title, and comments; and also Twitter-style status message posts with comments but no title (“microblogs”).

I don’t know how to see the microblogs posted to a community from Lemmy, but presumably they could exist if a Mastodon-wielder put then there.
