@fediverse posting this from mastodon. It’s amazing if this works!
Edit: it worked! Showed up in my Lemmy feed.
I wonder if the first days of SMTP were like this—people sending emails to each other in amazement that messages could reach people on other servers.
Yep! It should work in reverse too!
Hello from feddit.uk!
How’d you do that?!
@Squiglet just the power of the fediverse, I guess. Also posting this reply from mastodon.
To post from Mastodont to lemmy you just need to use “@” followed by community name?
@Squiglet @Xylight Pretty much, although you’ll want to differentiate between @[email protected] and other instances (i.e. @[email protected])
Interesting that I can reply to you without “@”. Forgive my ignorance, I never used Twitter or Mastodon.
@Squiglet Neither have I until now😂. Was a redditor for 10 years until the API change and never could get into Twitter.
I’m assuming the @ from Mastodon is just because it’s the default way for it to display in posts. Lemmy uses the @ for replies but doesn’t display it in the comment.
pretty much like /u/ on reddit
@ always looked wierd to me tho, it’s more of a surname if that makes sense
Oh wow, it actually works!
It’s wild that you can communicate like this across websites
Across systems even. A front page that looks like half content aggregation, half microblogging, that’s mad. That’s awesome!
