@fediverse posting this from mastodon. It’s amazing if this works!
Edit: it worked! Showed up in my Lemmy feed.
I wonder if the first days of SMTP were like this—people sending emails to each other in amazement that messages could reach people on other servers.
I remember the early days of instant messaging where people would just jump in a chatroom and ask where others were from, then sit there in awe. “HONEY, I’m talking to someone from Ireland! HONEY! Come look!”
a/s/l - the classic first message from anyone in 2001.
Interesting times we’re are coming to, folks!
I was on usenet in the 90s. It was WILD. I remember trying to explain it to my mom, and she just didn’t quite grasp it. When I told her I was talking to someone from Germany, she asked if she was gonna have to pay for that, because it was long distance. Bless her heart.
And here I am in Ireland reading your message now
Go to bed
I made my honey look.
I saw “Blackberry” yesterday and it was a really good experience putting you in the context of those times.
There is one scene where they type a message and wait for it to show up on another device. After a few seconds, it is there and every engineer in the room celebrates.
Then, management/sales guy comes in and they tell about what they’ve just done. He goes yeah, nice, but we do it already, it’s called SMS.
The engineers then say that he is not getting the point. It was a message sent through the network using data, 0 dollars and all and salesman’s eye get brighter.
So yes, I think the sensation was alike.
I’d love to get an explanation of how you made this work, because when I attempt to even follow my Mastodon account from Lemmy, it does not work.
Woah, so the big 3 (Mastodon, Kbin, and Lemmy) of the fediverse text/discussion-based social media can all used from a single account/feed. That’s awesome!
How can i learn more about how all of that works? Do you have any experience yet?
How’d you do that?!
@Squiglet just the power of the fediverse, I guess. Also posting this reply from mastodon.
To post from Mastodont to lemmy you just need to use “@” followed by community name?
@Squiglet @Xylight Pretty much, although you’ll want to differentiate between @fediverse@lemmy.world and other instances (i.e. @fediverse@lemmy.ml)
Interesting that I can reply to you without “@”. Forgive my ignorance, I never used Twitter or Mastodon.
@Squiglet Neither have I until now😂. Was a redditor for 10 years until the API change and never could get into Twitter.
I’m assuming the @ from Mastodon is just because it’s the default way for it to display in posts. Lemmy uses the @ for replies but doesn’t display it in the comment.
Absolutely wild that this works lmao, ActivityPub is crazy
@Xylight@mastodon.social @fediverse@lemmy.world Greetings from my personal Calckey instance!
I saw some items posted on the No Man’s Sky community that did this. Has me really excited for cross platform support
Oh wow, it actually works!
It’s wild that you can communicate like this across websites
Across systems even. A front page that looks like half content aggregation, half microblogging, that’s mad. That’s awesome!
It’s so nice to see people excited about this! It feels like forever since something has come along that shook things up (in a good way).
All your server are belong to us 🤖
Hi from lemmy.ml. The fediverse is so awesome!
Goddamn! I love the fediverse :)
So in mastodon you need to ping the /c/ with @ to post on it? Like @ufos or something?
Hi from Lemmyworld 👍
We were here for history
