Lemmy developers have said there are no near plans for allowing users to follow mastodon or other activityPub networks, so I’m considering another platform that can do this.
It looks like mbin, Piefed and FediLab have the ability to do this. Has anyone tried them and have a comparison?
I also heard it may be possible to do from just mastodon-like platforms. Anyone tried this?
Interop with microblogging is not the main purpose of Lemmy. The main purpose is to have a federated Reddit, with federation between Lemmy instances. That it can also connect with other platforms like Mastodon is more like a neat side effect.
