An overdue blog post about the finances and other news from the .world
Legendary. Didn’t realize the Lemmy world team was also running Mastodon and Firefish instances. Much love for your determined support!
They sweat a lot
Quite interesting to read! UP LEMMY!
Non profit foundation is awesome to see. It will probably the general structure of all significant long lasting institutions on the Fedi.
Y’all are wonderful. Thanks for your dedicated effort.
I also appreciated your shout-out to other instances that are active cooperating with .world to make Lemmy a better place. Teamwork makes the dream work.
I wonder why Mastodon.world has done so comparatively poorly. I also wonder if Mastodon could be more integrated with Lemmy would that improve things. As awful as twitter is these days, the way it embeds so easily into other content, which lets you click straight to its comments is invaluable. No doubt its on Elon’s list of things to ruin, and he’ll get around to it eventually.

I still don’t understand why so many people want to cram that square peg into that round hole.
Much like I never wanted my Reddit & Twitter mixed together… Lemmy & Mastodon just seem so incompatible to want to smoosh them together.
Yes kbin sort of does it, but it’s basically like two totally different worlds that happen to share a common account.

This won’t happen. The Lemmy dev does not want Mastodon to be integrated into Lemmy. They say that plenty of other fediverse software already has this implemented, and that Lemmy doesn’t need to reinvent what other software does.

Something tells me this isn’t the last word on the issue. If the fediverse concept is to succeed, then its two (current) largest players need to have some cross-functionality.
Perhaps the fediverse will get big enough that third-party developers will step in to fix this. Twitter & Reddit both benefitted hugely from the extra functionality third-party developers enhanced both platforms with.
Its anathema to the whole concept of the fediverse that one person - a lemmy dev - gets to decide something so important.
The existing integration works suprisingly well given the different use cases. Bettet than Masto and Peertube.
Unfortunately Mastodon not supporting group actors is the main difficulty in the integration on its end. Lemmy has hacks like auto-boosting thread posts, but kbin and peertube don’t so you can’t get thread posts without following the post author.
I think allowing user following (allow subscribing to user pages) and handling tags (which I’m not sure the right approach, probably can fit in whatever multicommunity feature gets developed) are the only missing things on the Lemmy side.
Maybe I’m missing something, when I try to interact with Mastodon from futurology.today there’s zero ability to interact. It seems to give the option to send DMs, but when I test it, they never arrive.
If you want that you can check out Kbin. It’s like Lemmy but also has a microblogging section that relatively flawlessly integrates mastodon content.
+1 for kbin (which I am commenting from). I initially chose kbin because I liked the UI more than Lemmy’s, but I’ve come to really appreciate the fact that it supports microblogging as well.
