It's funny when armchair experts insist that the fediverse won't catch on because "federation is too hard to understand" when arguably the most widespread communication system on the internet follows the same model
Dutch tech news site Tweakers.net kept saying that it was too hard... *head desk*
After email comes matrix. If you include all systems based on matrix, there are hundreds of millions of users already.
Now if government officials start accepting a fediverse based communication, I will create a separate instance for that and it will be totally safe for work, only used for communications with the government.
Mastadon and Lemmy use the same protocol.
You can even see accounts and posts from Mastodon on Lemmy, and the other way around too.
But yes, email is great.
I've heard it's (currently) impossible to post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account due to how both are differently built, unless you're referring to seeing a Lemmy discussion from Mastodon.
kbin/mbin does have some mastadonesque facilities. So it straddles the line between threadiverse and I dunno what we call the mastadon side.
Mbin will do both but not all servers appear to federate with Mastodon

I'm trying to reply to this with a Mastodon account. I'll be interested to see if it appears in the discussion on Lemmy instances, and if replies to it from Lemmy appear in my @mentions here.
Well that worked, I can see my reply as a comment on both Lemmy.nz (where I found the thread) and on https://lemmy.eco.br where @P4ulin_Kbana is posting.
Now someone reply, I want to see if this works.
It does works 🫡
This smells like ego projection. These are tools for jobs, they don't have to compete.
What on earth are you talking about?? Of course they don't have to compete. It's a meme. It's meant to be funny, not accurate. What does my ego have to do with anything?
It's alright, it's art. You can't expect it to reach everyone the same way.
