Well looks like a Lemmy comment is making the rounds on Mastodon!

91 boosts and still going strong. Federation works, everyone!
I was wondering what was going on with that post. I’m glad it resonated with people across the fediverse. Cool!
Now I’ve got to figure out how to log into Mastadon with my Lemmy account. I didn’t even realize this was a thing.
@maxprime@lemmy.ml You can't log into other Fediverse services using your Lemmy account. It's a Lemmy account for your specific Lemmy instance and doesn't work anywhere else.
What you can do is talk to people on other Fediverse services with your Lemmy account on your instance in the same way you are communicating with people from other Lemmy instances.
For example, the op you are replying to is using Friendica, you are using Lemmy and I am using Firefish right now.
I like to explain it like email or even phone providers. You can call someone on Verizon even if you're on ATT but you can't pay Verizon for your ATT bill
Iirc, you can't
log into Mastadon with a lemmy account, but there should be a way to follow a mastodon account from a lemmy instance. Never tried it, though.Edit: Apparently, it's not possible either. Mastodon users can follow lemmy communities, but not the other way around. 😔
@janAkali @maxprime You certainly can follow Lemmy groups from Mastodon. And you can reply to Lemmy threads from Masto.
In fact, take a look at my account — I'm doing it right now...
This is so wholesome, the world needs to support teachers like this!
Just echoing a class I had in high school.
My social studies teacher ran the whole year as "micro community." There were three different classes per year, and each class was a community. Each student had a role within the community, and performed actual job duties necessary to keep things functioning. For example, I was a banker and had to cash checks. After tests, we got checks based on test scores, so you got (fake) money to spend on stuff. We had to pay a utility bill or he would turn off the lights and not use the projector for notes. The kid running the power company would collect that money.
The best part was the stock market. Each community was also a company whose share value depended on overall test scores. So you could invest in whichever class you thought would score the highest.
Wow! That is so creative and thoughtful. I wish everyone has a teacher like that who truly loves the profession and respects the impact they have on their students' lives.
I hope this is real; and if it is, I hope there are more teachers like this.
That's the most intricate way I've ever heard of someone trying to find a meme they once saved and can't find it
What's mastodon?
Federated alternative to shXtter
just say xitter
The formerly successful site known as Twitter.
or (ex)twitter
Mastodon is to Twitter as Lemmy is to Reddit.
Way to make me feel silly for having both an account on both a Mastodon server and a Lemmy server! ;)
I love both Mastodon and Lemmy, but they usually don't federate very well with each other, so one cannot replace the other: Lemmy users cannot see microblog posts which aren't connected to any community and Mastodon doesn't show the body of Lemmy posts. Currently trying out Friendica, which manages all parts of the Fediverse reasonably well.
Interesting - will look into Friendica. I just hacked up the latest stable release of Lemmy to run on OpenBSD but it’s not something I think I want to maintain long-term. Looking for something that will last a while, kinda like email but maybe not that long!
Is it possible to migrate from Mastodon to friendica? And how are the mobile apps?
@Bebo
You can always migrate, but sadly there is no way to import your profile directly from Mastodon. The two best apps, Fedilab and Relatica, are fine but rather limited in functionality, so I often end up using the web version.
Oh I hope there is more development in the future since friendica sounds promising.
@Bebo @masimatutu
Friendica definitely is one of the underrated fediverse platforms.
Many bounce off of it because it seems a bit slow and its UI is dated. But in terms of the general ideas about what the fediverse can be and the functionality it’s implemented, it’s very interesting and it would be awesome for it to seem more love.
Lemmy + Mastodon is a pretty great combo :)
@masimatutu
Yea. Generally a good demonstration of how the promise of the fediverse isn’t really there yet.
Lemmy does groups and mastodon does users with neither really understanding the other.
I think there’s more scope for lemmy to cover the user side of social media than mastodon the groups side. Kbin is an example of a continuing effort to do that.
If some keen devs got involved, I’d suspect lemmy could add some good user based functionality.The core devs have recognised it’d be good.
It's been my experience that women are way better at using computers, they just don't feel welcome in the fraternity that is computer sciences.
What a nonsensical, vote-baiting statement. Why should either sex be better at using a computer?
Thanks for being a part of the problem, dickhead.
That's not quite true, though, is it? The idea that one gender is better than the other is kinda the problem you're fighting against, isn't it? Flipping it around doesn't solve the issue, it just inverts it.
That being said, I do think groups of women are better at cooperating than groups of men. Groups of men tend to try to one-up each other and compete, rather than cooperate.
No fuck you suckass achiving equality should not be done via promoting one Gender over another the Ends justifies the means mentality is why the world is already so fucked
I love how I never said any of that, you just went off because I was poking at an exposed nerve. 2016 never really did end for a lot of people.
Weird, you assume I'm a man.
I am, but then again on the Internet I could be anyone I want to be. I could tell you I manage a software dev team that is majority female. What's the point? I could also tell you I'm Ada fucking Lovelace risen from the crypt.
Skill with a computer has nothing to do with sex or gender. It's almost entirely down to experience and exposure at an age when you're willing to break things and learn from it - or capturing that attitude at whatever age.
God I can already tell this is going to be bad faith bullshit so i'm not even going to bother reading past this.
When. When did I say that.
Do you often accuse women of being dickheads who are part of misogyny? Or are you just using a pathetic excuse to pretend you didnt read the next paragraph? Grow up. It's the Internet. Nobody is going to remember that you were silly.
Just gonna say - they seem insufferable, so they probably do. But also, women can certainly be part of misogyny. That doesn't mean you aren't right, though, about them assuming by default you're a man.
2016 never died, apparently.
You are such an absolute hypocrite. If you're really a feminist, you're doing a piss-poor job at it.
Don't accuse someone of bad faith when you're here pretending there are no implications behind the term dickhead.
WHEN
WHEN DID I SAY THAT
Don't play dumb. You're challenging patriarchy (or at least putting on the airs of someone who does), so by defualt you're a feminist.
Basic standards of decency = feminist apparently
Wtf is wrong with your brain, mate?
Do you really think literally everyone on Earth challenges patriarchy? No. Hardly anyone admits it exists. That's kinda the point of feminism, galaxy brain. Being aware of it and challenging it is pretty much all it takes to be a feminist.
That's a depressing prospective. I'm glad I don't see things that way.
...The fact Andrew Tate exists and is popular is kind of a clue, isn't it? Barbie tried to address the concept of patriarchy - and to be fair, has been quite successful financially, and a damn good film - but the general public is barely any closer to accepting that women don't yet have fully equal rights.
