I’d like to use both, with preferably the same account, but mainly the same android app
mbin is probably the closest to what you want. Its supports both threaded content (lemmy) as well as microblogging (mastodon) Here is a list of servers https://joinmbin.org/servers and interstellar is the mbin app.
Thanks. Had to make a mbin account as interstellar with lemmy account did not display any comment. Still need to find out how to use mastodon inside of it xD
Mbin also works pretty well directly using web.
I think Fedilab should do both:
Last time I checked it was more about mastodon than lemmy
It is, probably. But I did a check before I posted and it did display content from Lemmy. Just pointing out alternatives here.
The problem is that you cannot log into a Lemmy account with it, so if you already started on Lemmy and have an account here it’s not very useful for you.
It’s doable: https://vijayprema.com/using-lemmy-from-my-existing-mastodon/
The Tusky android app let’s me browse lemmy.world communities.
Does Tusky display threaded content properly when browsing Lemmy?
@VintageGenious Think about it this way: an email client can do both Gmail and Hotmail (and Fastmail etc.) because it’s all just email. The same goes for the Fediverse; it’s all just ActivityPub. For example this reply is from a Mastodon app :D
I have personal frustrations about how popular servers like Mastodon and Lemmy hide ActivityPub. I feel progress is stifled. Enough that I wrote my own ActivityPub service (https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html)
And Thunderbird can do email/rss/newsletters and even Matrix…
@rglullis RSS is so underrated I feel. Easy to understand, battle-tested, scales up easily, plethora of clients. Many uses of microblogging, especially in the “real world” use by places like governments, police departments, public transport services could be easily replaced by simple RSS/Atom feeds. Governments and TV stations don’t need to set up Mastodon instances since they never actually interact with people. It’s not “social” media to them; just another avenue of broadcast.
True. For podcasts, seems like RSS is the main thing
Lots of things! I subscribe to blogs, Lemmy communities, Mastodon accounts, podcasts, YouTube channels, source code repositories (GitHub, Sourcehut, cgit…), Hacker News, subreddits. All in one ad-free, tracker-less, totally local, instantly searchable, open source application. Couldn’t have lived without it for the past 15 - 20 years!
Can Lemmy people see this comment?
Probably! :) https://old.lemmy.world/post/19168403
To rephrase your question: “did my message get sent to Lemmy servers?”
Because in a sense, your comment isn’t “on” anything; you sent a message to your server (thebrainbin.org) which then sent out a copy to many, many other servers.
