I’m confused about how I can link Mastodon and Lemmy sites, say. I have an account on Fosstodon. Can I use it to access and post to https://beehaw.org/c/programming for example? I can follow @programming but that’s not the same thing? The beehaw site says to search for !programming@beehaw.org but this returns nothing (with the ! prefix) on fosstodon. Am I missing something? #lemmy #fediverse #beehaw
This is a situation where you CAN technically do this, but I really wouldn’t recommend it. I have separate lemmy and mastodon accounts because accessing lemmy from mastodon is an awful experience.
Yeah, this. My mastodon timeline became quite unreadable, just a flood of lemmy links, if you follow a more active community.
@jpm @programming You literally just did it! By tagging @progamming@beehaw.org, you created a new post. The replies you’re getting on Mastodon are showing up as threaded replies on beehaw.
You’re telling me this post was created automatically because he tagged this community in his mastodon post? And my comments appear there as well?
@MaggiWuerze Yes! I’m replying from mastodon too!
@awilbert @jpm @programming Are you aware if there’s some documentation on how this works?
@heatrunner @jpm @programming Not that I know of, but i’m sure there is somewhere. I think most of us are in the “poke it with a stick and see what happens” phase.
