Following @lemmy was a bad idea. It’s literally every comment with subpar context. Which is fine, thr mental models of twitter and reddit are different, after all.
I’m still figuring out how it works, but seems Mastodon doesn’t sync the history too well, and only stays in sync if at least one person on the instance is following the community. Maybe the old ones are delayed sync, or someone that was subscribed then unsubbed before another took over? It’s getting the Snoo hug of death at the moment, so I’m expecting weird behaviour!
Yeah that makes sense. I’m mostly just poking around to see how it reacts, no real expectations of it working well. Really considering the walled gardens of each of the technologies this replaces, any amount of connection is really icing on the cake!
I haven’t tried it myself, but I remember someone mentioning things like peertube videos being sharable on mastodon, then replying to the peertube post in mastodon could add a reply to the peertube page and vise versa. Obviously the reply structure of lemmy is quite different, but it is cool to imagine the ways interoperability could evolve with more attention.
