What I don’t get is why anyone would ever choose commercial social media again given there are Activity Pub clones for practically everything now, where you aren’t the product. So many people learned nothing from the ongoing Twitter debacle and the zillion Facebook privacy scandals apparently.

Is Activity Pub integrated into Lemmy yet?

@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.

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.
