Could you please explain how a Lemmy thread is showing up in Mastodon? I use it too but never see Lemmy there.

Isn’t that just a Piefed photo stream?

I still don’t see any cross-app integration except simple linking.

Can you be more specific? I don’t see anything.

I guess it’s cool that you can if you want, but if I’m searching Mastodon I want content on Mastodon, not Lemmy and vice versa.

I still don’t see the point.

You’re not the first to suggest it, but I still haven’t seen anyone do more than linking one from the other. This feels as inconsequential as posting a Twitter screenshot on Reddit. Is there a deeper integration possible?

Communities are for Lemmy and hashtags are for Mastodon.

They each make sense in their proper context.

After executing a prisoner, we will feed him to other prisoners and force them to wear clothes made from the skin.

Sharing DMs is a dick move.

My point is how could you ever count on deletion when the content is being federated?

Even if Lemmy devs made account deletion easy and cascade deletes your content, all it takes is one server run by an archivist and that content is never going away.

It seems inherently unfixable in a federated system, like trying to unsend an email.

Nothing is ever really deleted on the internet, especially if it was automatically replicated to dozens of other servers.

Even in the land of Big Macs, 60kph seems a bit high for a road that doesn’t even have a center stripe.
