YSK: When making posts on Lemmy/Kbin always put at the end some hashtags related to your post topic.

So users from Mastodon and Pixelfed can interact with your post without even need to use their Lemmy/Kbin account or learn about “how to use the ActivityPub”.
This also helps to have more content avaliable across the Fediverse due to better discoverability.

      @ono It is, though. You may not be accessing it through Mastodon, but this is a Mastodon post, originally from a Mastodon instance. Look at OP’s username without the @: DannyBoy@mastodon.ie

      EDIT: The Fediverse is kinda weird. Here’s OP’s post from Mastodon: https://mastodon.ie/@DannyBoy/110752993994124069
      Here’s the thread you may be seeing on Lemmy: https://lemmy.ca/post/1829131

      You can also see both your and my comments on both pages.

      They’re interoperable to an extent, so depending on what platform you’re viewing the content from, the same post and replies may be formatted differently for you than how it was originally submitted.

        OP clearly specified “When making posts on Lemmy/Kbin”. That is the context for this conversation.

          @ono Right, that’s the thing though, these platforms are all the same network. The data sent from Lemmy is readable on Mastodon, and vise versa. There really isn’t any actual separation between the two platforms, outside of the UI you choose to use. Lemmy posts are technically all on Mastodon to begin with. Ultimately, platforms like Pixelfed and Calckey/FireFish are also part of the same overall network, which is why the content posted to any of these platforms is so cross-compatible to begin with.

          I think the main difference is with Kbin, which blends Lemmy and Mastodon feeds into one platform, and by default allows you to tag your Lemmy-formatted content with Mastodon-compatible hashtags, which makes those Lemmy threads more visible to Mastodon users, since I don’t think Lemmy has hashtag support by default.

          It’s more of a “big picture” thing, IMO. The Fediverse is largely all just the same network, but with various different UI endpoints.

            @Chozo @youshouldknow @ono Again, thanks!
            Looks like here you’re the only one that understands how the fediverse works.
            Everyone is like a butthurt about it. They don’t get that more shared information means more people that has access to it.
