Which is why, if you actually want to discuss something, it’s better to tag a group. For example, if you want to be part of an actual PC gaming community on the Fediverse, it’s better to tag @pcgaming@lemmy.ca than #pcgaming.

This needs to be common knowledge because people new to the Fediverse do not know about groups. Hell, I’d say people who have had Mastodon accounts for years still don’t know. And that’s a shame.

You're not the first to suggest it, but I still haven't seen anyone do more than linking one from the other. This feels as inconsequential as posting a Twitter screenshot on Reddit. Is there a deeper integration possible?

Is deeper integration possible? Sure, check out how I use !lumoura@piefed.social with my Akkoma account.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can you be more specific? I don’t see anything.

[–] atomicpoet@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure, here’s the URL:

https://piefed.social/c/lumoura

Also, you might want to look at getting a better Lemmy client.

Isn’t that just a Piefed photo stream?

I still don’t see any cross-app integration except simple linking.

[–] atomicpoet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Nope, not a Piefed photo stream. All those photos (so far) originate either from Akkoma or Pixelfed.

It looks “just” like a Piefed photo stream because I’m sending photos there. 😊

@deegeese @atomicpoet hi, this thread literally popped into my mastodon timeline. Only noticed this is not originally from mastodon because you mentioned it and because you don't mention on replies by default. Hope it works as an answer for deeper integration

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Could you please explain how a Lemmy thread is showing up in Mastodon? I use it too but never see Lemmy there.

[–] mapto@feddit.bg 2 points 1 day ago

You could subscribe to the Lemmy community by following e.g. @fediverse@lemmy.world from mastodon. If you're familiar with https://a.gup.pe/ , it's exactly the same from mastodon. The difference is that with lemmy you can also access without passing through mastodon.

Take a look at !fediverse@lemmy.world on Mastodon:

https://mastodon.social/@fediverse@lemmy.world

@deegeese @atomicpoet I answer threads on (one) Lemmy community regularly from my Mastodon account. It's weird but it works and frankly, it's cool!

Someone on Mastadon could reply to a comment here directly from there and you may not notice unless you look at their instance.

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Usually, you notice it, as Mastodon automatically adds an @username@instance for everybody the commment replies to, Lemmy doesn't.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

True, good point
