@poorlydrawnarsenal @I_am_the_grass forgive the gatecrash, a Fediverse question
I am following @gunners
via my mas.to account, but when I click on a lemmy post, I get taken to the site & this notice:
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !gunners@lemmy.world
but pasting
!gunners@lemmy.world
into my search bar at mas.to does absolutely nothing?
@ronsboy67 @poorlydrawnarsenal @I_am_the_grass @gunners
I honestly don’t understand what the Lemmy stuff is all about… does this means it links with multi-accounts? Such as posting from one area which posts across multiple platforms?
Yeah, so Lemmy is like Reddit. It’s a thread based social media site, but you can access it and comment on posts from your mastodon feed.
So theoretically you only need one account to access the fediverse equivalents of Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, etc.
It’s for sure not perfect. It’s wonky but it’s also kinda early days for it
@poorlydrawnarsenal ah okay.. I understand.. I tried to do this once with messengers, but it all failed.. but seems more possible with social media..
@Hantsravens @poorlydrawnarsenal it helps that a lot of these sites are entering their "enshittification" phases (as @pluralistic has coined) at around the same time. A lot of thought went into how to grab the web back from tech monopolies several years ago and this is the result.
The various exoduses has put a strain on the smaller servers and they're still working through that (especially the Lemmy servers) but hopefully as time goes on things get smoother.
