How are they achieving this? Something can’t be done with Lemmy due to load

Peertube seems to just federate the links to the videos

I absolutely love this. Federate all the things!

Maybe this isn’t the best thread to ask this but I’ll try: is there a way to connect my Mastodon, Pixelfed and Lemmy accounts? I subscribed to Mastodon and Lemmy with my mail but I wish they were more “connceted” with each other, like I could share with ease a post I create here to Mastodon and viceversa. I would also love to create a Pixelfed account. Sorry if the question sounds a lot stupid, I’m still trying to grasp the idea of how Federated internet works.

You can paste a link to a Lemmy post in the Mastodon search bar, which will get the post to show up on Mastodon. You can then interact with it in any way (reply, boost, etc.)

You can post to Lemmy from Mastodon by tagging your community with @.

You can also subscribe to the Lemmy community on Mastodon, for instance here (your comment is visible)

Finally somewhere to move my Facebook group to!

Will the groups also federate with Firefish and Friendica? (Friendica has had a group function for a long time).

Blaze, 9 months ago

I’m not sure, are those compatible with Lemmy?

caos, 9 months ago

@Blaze @caos The federation between Firefish and Lemmy is problematic. According to a #Firefish admin, this is because Firefish requires "Authorised Fetch", which #Lemmy has not implemented correctly. Here from Friendica it works fine.

Blaze, 9 months ago

Interesting, thanks

Lemmy does not implement AF but AF is not a requirement on Firefish (admins can choose to enable or disable it, unlike say GoToSocial which forces it on)

That said, this is still a massive flaw in Lemmy and not having AF enabled on the non-Lemmy side makes defederation essentially useless (which is bad considering the kinds of places that have already set up shop on those parts of fedi), so I personally don’t think the trade off of “federating with Lemmy” is worth it.

Friendica yes as those are compatible with Lemmy, at least they used to… haven’t seen a Friendica post here in a while though 🤔

caos, 9 months ago

@poVoq @Blaze @caos 👋 Yoo-hoo, here's a Friendica post. Federation with Lemmy works great from here.
