@sab @selfhosted @73ms Even though it's possible to cross-post to both, for now I think it's best to just outright link to the hosting Lemmy/KBin instance thread inside a toot.

@ThorrJo @selfhosted I suspect its a fluke this works at all 😆. ActivityPub objects are all kind-of the same, and it's on the developer to decide how to use them. "Reddiverse" (?) software organizes posts into threads, and microblogers sort them into streams.

@ThorrJo @selfhosted That's what I thought too. Seeing some of the discrepancies across Lemmy and KBin made me curious to try it. Many instances run the Mastodon Glitch branch for this reason (I don't, as I'm treating my server as a research project, and IMO the stock experience is more important).

That said, I've heard folks parroting that some form of markdown is coming to mainline Mastodon, though I haven't seen an announcement. I'm assuming Rocko simply said he wasn't against it anymore.

@ThorrJo @selfhosted lol, I can relate to thay 😆. I run an event & website that was notorious for its poor performance at the beginning and end of events. A few years ago, with our servers ready to fall over, I noticed a certain query was hogging the database server's CPU. I made the tiniest fix to correctly use indexes, and we instantly went from 400% CPU usage to at most 20% (across 4 cores). 😅

Though it's been fixed for ~3 years, I still see folks warning others about the slowness. 😅

@ElectroVagrant 🎉

EDIT: Ah interesting. I see the pencil icon on Lemmy for your edit, but my edits aren't marked with an icon. That feels like cheating. 😆

EDIT2: I stand corrected, the pencil appeared later. I wonder if this one will change too?

EDIT3: Yes it does. Another curiosity, but I swear that the comment count for this thread goes up every time I edit. 🤔

EDIT4: Confirmed (for Lemmy at least). After I push send the comment count should say 31.

@ElectroVagrant I wonder if this will work too?

(I'm using the "content warning" feature of Mastodon, and replying directly to a lemmy.world user)

EDIT: Okay the content warning didn't work, but it appears that so long as I @ someone on the server that owns the group (it doesn't have to be the group),my messages will federate correctly. Also if you can read this, Mastodon's edit federation works too. 😋

Ha, honestly I'm impressed that any of this is working at all. 😆

By the way, to anyone reading this, in my previous reply I omitted the mention of @selfhosted. The reply didn't show up on #Lemmy until @NumbersCanBeFun replied to it.

@roosmaa @selfhosted Ha, I'm happy to have helped answer the question. 😆

This was supposed to just be a toot to my feed sharing that I figured out how to follow groups from Mastodon. I was not expecting to stumble across how to post to groups using Mastodon too. 😅

@Eddie I would love more interoperability. 😉

It makes me wonder if the "thing" to dethrone #Mastodon will be an alternative server/client/app that speaks multiple #Fediverse application protocols? I'm jealous that a #Lemmy server requires a _fraction_ of the RAM that a #KBin or Mastodon server does.

(Obligitory @selfhosted for Lemmy to notice me)

Oops! I didn't expect this to start a thread on @selfhosted (I posted this from Mastodon). Hello other Fediverse friends. 😅

@Eddie If you include the group name (@selfhosted) it seems to work, but this isn't really practical.

@NumbersCanBeFun Okay that was unexpected. I managed to post a new topic and reply to Lemmy.world using my Mastodon client. That was supposed to be a "thinking out loud" toot. 😅

I attached some images to my first reply, but they were ignored. I wonder if my server strips out markdown? 🤔

* _Test_

@NumbersCanBeFun @selfhosted Oh wow, I didn't realize this would actually cross post to Lemmy.world. 😅

Oh wow, I didn't realize I actually cross posted to #Lemmy by @'ing the group. 😅
