I remember Mastodon was working on groups so I imagine interaction from Mastodon to Lemmy would improve. Bonfire is rolling out groups pretty soon it seems. I’ve been trying it for a while now and I access both microblogs and groups from Bonfire.

likewise, i’ve rarely if ever seen a post from lemmy on mastodon. these two platforms just don’t seem to interact much. the fediverse is already very small. fragmenting it even further by having multiple services that basically don’t talk to each other is not good

I think part of this is the initial desire to model Fediverse platforms after mainstream counterparts. So you have Instagram-but-federated, Twitter-but-federated, Reddit-but-federated, YouTube-but-federated, TikTok-but-federated. These platforms don’t really interact with each other directly, so the Fediverse ended up modeling that incompatibility, too.

That’s the area projects like Mbin and Bonfire seem to be better at.

If you’re going to repost someone’s picture from Reddit that they tagged as “OC” (Original Content), at least don’t copy the title verbatim and mislead people into thinking your repost is OC…
