People often ask me, “How do I interact with Lemmy”?

Well, in my previous post, I just interacted with Lemmy by quoting @Gaywallet@beehaw.org‘s post. If you’re on Calckey or Misskey (or anything that supports quotes), this will look seamless.

On Mastodon, the Lemmy post will be rendered as a URL. If I wanted to make that Lemmy post look like “native Mastodon”, I could have just boosted it, but I wanted to add additional commentary.

The point, though, is that I’ve interacted with a Lemmy post on a platform that is not Lemmy. This is possible through ActivityPub. The Fediverse is quite magical in that sense.

If you’re on Mastodon, Pleroma, Calckey, etc., I urge you all to follow Lemmy and/or Kbin communities and users and start interacting with them. It’s important that former Redditors see a bustling community.
