Interesting read and kinda weird idea. There are other examples of "new" mathematics being employed to find representations of physics that lead to new, observable predictions... but not very many.

lol, no. Being able to do what I want with it is what I have appreciated. It's like having a computer without that obnoxious glue in the screws so you can take it apart if you want to.

This kind of thing is a huge part of why I fell in love with Linux so long ago.

I joined this instance after reading this post. My inclination is to operate my own instance; but it seems best to wait until some of the dust settles and some of the bugs get discovered and fixed, first. The admins here seem capable of doing just that, while providing a stable platform.

Ah. So it's a one-way pipe from Lemmy to Mastodon. It's not possible to have a Lemmy community set up to mirror a Mastodon hashtag? (perhaps that's how kbin does things)

It seems to me that you can interact with posts from Mastodon with a Lemmy account, but can only log in to your home server with it. So your view if the world will be Lemmy-like. Probably you could make an account on a Mastodon server and use a Mastodon app with it to interact with Lemmy posts in a Mastodon-flavored way. There's also kbin, that does both reddit-style posts with an OP, a title, and comments; and also Twitter-style status message posts with comments but no title ("microblogs").

I don't know how to see the microblogs posted to a community from Lemmy, but presumably they could exist if a Mastodon-wielder put then there.
