@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!"
  
  And here I am in Ireland reading your message now
  
  a/s/l - the classic first message from anyone in 2001.
  Interesting times we’re are coming to, folks!
- 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.

Hi from Lemmyworld 👍
- We were here for history
  
  I was lounging in my recliner when it happened!

Hi from my personal instance!!!
- Bro, could you help me set one up ._. I tried docker, ansible, from scratch using rust, and I kept running into an error. I tried all three methods several times on Debian 11, Debian 12, and Ubuntu 20.
  Was there a guide outside of the official docs or am I just too inexperienced? Like with the from scratch setup, had all dependencies listed installed, but every time rust starts opening crates after a minute it just throws some error.
  
  I was up and running in about 5 minutes with Lemmy Easy Deploy. I can’t recommend it enough.

How interesting! It's nice to see the Fediverse in action.

Hello from my personal instance!

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?

Hello from feddit.uk!

@Xylight@mastodon.social @fediverse@lemmy.world Greetings from my personal Calckey instance!

Absolutely wild that this works lmao, ActivityPub is crazy

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.

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!

Hi from lemmy.ml. The fediverse is so awesome!

Saying hey from over here on kbin.social, which picked this up as a Microblog (their feature for viewing Mastodon posts). If you're looking to be active on both Lemmy and Mastodon, Kbin is the best platform I've found thus far for navigating the Fediverse.
- Hey! I've been trying to get the hang of the fedi stuff. Is there a good source for how to combine Lemmy and Mastodon at kbin?
  
  Kbin combines Lemmy and Mastodon right out of the box - no setup needed.
  Kbin is new and undergoing development, so the documentation is lacking, but it's pretty easy to use. It combines posts from the Fediverse (including lemmy) under its Threads section, and posts from Mastodon and other similar federated services in its Microblog section.
  It also allows you to post in both formats, which is pretty fun. It also has search capacity for tags across instances (kbin.social/tag/cat) and domains (kbin.social/d/lemmy.world), the latter of which allows you to subscribe to or block those domains as you chose. I've posted more detail on a couple of threads here and here.

Hello from the devil’s house on Lemmy!

That’s how the fediverse works isn’t it?
- Yeah but the different platforms still have to implement translation between the different data structures if I understand correctly.
  Like peertube federation became available in May 2022

Helloo from yiffit.net (browse cautiously)

Interesting, this is the same post on Mastodon.
- Neat!

Heya form lemmy.world (and Portugal!)

what a time to be alive

Howdy from lemm.ee!

Hi there from lemmy!

Here is a response from lemm.ee

Someone posts "fediverse posts are federated" gets 400 up votes.

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?

It did! That's impressive

Welcome! So glad to have you!

All your server are belong to us 🤖
- This land is your land, this land is my land, from Lemmy Shitposts, to Lemmy World News

I WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS HISTORICAL MOMENT. Hi. Hello. Seriously cool this is possible though!

@Xylight @fediverse 1, 2, 1, 2

Congrats!

hello from Lemmy!

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).

I see you from toast.ooo

👋 hi from thelemmy.club

Hello from my phone.
- Hello from the other siiiiide

I saw some items posted on the No Man's Sky community that did this. Has me really excited for cross platform support

It is indeed amazing! Hello from lemmy.world o/

Cool Would love to hear the method since it apparently worked

Whadyaknow!?! The new FidoNet works!

It works.. I can see your post.

@Xylight Hello from kbin.social!

I think we can say it is a success!

hello hello :3

Wizardry!

So is fediverse basically a bunch of servers, and Lemmy and Mastodon are like, different interfaces to access those servers? (I'm not sure I understand how fediverse works)
- It's like in real life how people talk, to simplify e.g. we're all speaking english here. Where as facebook speaks only facebook, twitter speaks only twitter, and reddit speaks only reddit... these instances all speak ActivityPub.
- Think of a banana split. Lemmy is the chocolate ice cream, mastodon is the vanilla, kbin is the strawberry, etc., etc. they are all different flavors. However, they are all in one “dish” that is the Fediverse.
  Doesn’t matter what flavor of ice cream you are eating, it’s still ice cream at its base and thus they speak a common language underneath it all.
