Is Activity Pub integrated into Lemmy yet?
It is and always has been as far as I'm aware
I thought it was built on activity pub.
I'm gonna go over to my Mastodon account and try to reply to you. One sec.
@60d @heavyboots It is supposed to be but I'm not seeing any mastodon replies showing up on Lemmy yet so I thought I'd give it a try. The fact that I can see your reply from mastodon and reply to it proves something 🤔
Cool! Yea I'm not on Mastodon. Replying on Lemmy via Voyager.
Wow, the delay is real LOL I replied from Mastodon but it hasn't shown up here so I'm replying from vger.app and will see what gets here from where and when :-D It's cool that it's possible though, even if it's not super practical.
EDIT to say that this comment showed up on Mastodon basically immediately but my Mastodon comment still hasn't shown up here 1-2 hours later?! Weird??
@60d Nice, so it definitely works but there is quite a delay so not perfect. But here I am replying again from mastodon after checking that it did finally show up on Lemmy!
The delay is real, lol.
Don't you have to follow someone on Mastodon to see what they post? Are you already following 60d?
the way I do it is open up lemmy on the browser and you can copy the fediverse link and paste it into mastodon to search for it, but federation is a whole thing so not everyone who sees something from their instance sees everything from every instance depending on who is federated with who, so with mastodon and lemmy it gets a little weird. Ive seen some tools that help pull more content that otherwise your instance wouldnt automatically get itself so that you can see more replies etc but I havent messed around with that
Thanks. I use the app Boost for Lemmy but do not have that icon you circled.
I find you on Mastodon as Mr Pistachios but zero posts and replies are show. That is your deliberate setting?
oh yeah I only see that icon from the browser where I mostly use it, and stuff really only shows up if your instance pulls the data which is normally doesnt do for mastodon stuff, and no way to follow specific accounts so not much use anyway
@sqgl Apparently not. I just searched for their username on Mastodon, saw their comment and hit reply. I noticed later that Mastodon does have a note below the comments saying something along the lines of All replies might not display, go to Lenny to see more.
EDIT to add that this time, this reply from Mastodon showed up immediately on Lemmy 😂
@60d @heavyboots
Kinda? This is @andrewrgross tooting at you from Mastodon, but I had to search for your address to find this comment. And I couldn't find it from a different server. So... yes, but actually no.
Still, I find it fascinating the degree that they're connected. I'm gonna go see if this showed up on Lemmy now.
Your toot is here. Can you see my reply in Mastodon?
@60d
Yes!
I just "favorited" it and clicked reply. I believe the reply shows up as a reply, and the favoriting action looks like an upvote.
It's kinda silly. Like... is this useful? Unclear. But the ability for me to interact across two very different platforms seems like a technical achievement to me.
@60d
Also, I just took a screen cap and I'm embedding it in a reply toot. If this works, you can see what this conversation looks like in Mastodon. I'm interested to see if this shows up in Lemmy.
Yup, I can see the screenshot and the up votes, so it was already more integrated than I thought. Cool!
There really are dozens of us!
This thread exchange made me smile, and I had to show it to one of my partners while giving the rundown about Activity Pub.
This shit is so neat.
Thanks, I think it's fun too. Interesting to see the current level of integration between platforms. Thanks for also giving me something to smile about 😊
@60d hasn't it been?
