Honestly, maybe the incompatible protocols should just be severed from each other.
It's novel that Mastodon can technically talk to Lemmy. But why? It's such a hassle to make it happen -- and the results are so messy.
If you want Mastodon to happen on Lemmy, it just ends up being easier to post a URL to a Mastodon post than it is to try and use the "official" federated methods. Just like people could post a link to a tweet or Facebook post.
Kbin supports both approaches.
