Mastodon and Lemmy do not interact much though. And Masto has more people who found their way to Fediverse in a different way from Lemmy users. Meaning that there might be niches that Masto is more suited for, like game development.

Yeah mastodon because its like xitter is just something I have never been interested in social media wise. Kinda stinks because I like the watch party thing but I don’t want to make an account for one thing. Heck I don’t even make matrix or peertube even though those would be nice. I really wish there was more account login interoporability.

Better interoperability with Mastodon is on Piefed’s roadmap so maybe Fedi won’t be as fractured soon. I find it a bit funny that Fedi has so many people on it but we can barely interact with them because they are on Mastodon and Lemmy can’t talk to it.

I really like Peertube I wish it had content though.

this is where I think the mistake was made. I really think they should have started with the idea of a user and a user account as a place for various services to store configs and then did something like saml. So the most basic server to run would be a user server and you could even have simplified user applications that is for a user to keep his own user account. I think nostr would be a good way to start from this perspective but im not sure if its doing it really the way I am thinking.

The problem with nostr is that it quickly turned into a nazi bar at its worst so most people (including me) simply dismiss it whenever they hear about it.

can you not block in nostr??? I have not actually engaged because I don’t like the non forum type formats.

When your instance upgrades you’ll be able to follow Mastodon accounts in Piefed and see their posts in your home feed.

They can, though. Mbin is integrated somewhat, I'm not sure about others.

Yeah but most people are on Lemmy so its’ lack of integration is what shapes the local culture.

@catfeeder mastodon has a much larger community, so people that find their way through contribute here. It's a one-way street though. You can't contribute to mastodon from you threadiverse account (mbin/kbin community so small that it's not worth the mention).

I can contribute posts to Mastodon by adding hashtags to my posts, and I can already follow users from there to see their posts (ahhh toots?) even if they aren’t bound to any community. So, at least on Piefed, the situation is improving bit by bit.
