#ActivityPub is super cool once you see it in action.
For instance, you can visit the new StarTrek lemmy server here: https://startrek.website/c/startrek. Looks like a reddit sub with posts, threaded comments, upvotes, &c.
OR you can follow the same server on Mastodon @startrek.
Every thread and comment shows up as a boosted post.
Cool, right? Now, say you find a comment that you want to reply to. Post through your favorite Mastodon app, and that feeds right back to the thread on the #Lemmy server! 🤯
It’s pretty neat being able to do that.
Personally, I decided to stick with a native Lemmy UI experience instead of following communities from my Mastodon account.
@leopardboy Same. While the content transfers across, the presentation does not. The benefit of #lemmy is the upvoting, sorting, and threading, which gets lost in translation.
Indeed. Consuming Lemmy content via a timeline interface isn’t necessarily my cup of tea, at least not at this stage.
