@cm0002@lemmy.world No, why do you ask?

I was annoyed at first, because who the heck would do that deliberately.
Then I realized it's part of the software, so yeah it's a little quirky but also cool that it works to begin with!
This is the most torn I've ever felt between an upvote and a downvote.
I just think it's great that more people can participate in discussion from all across the fediverse. It's pretty neat.
It doesn't bother me at all 🤷♂️ I get excited when I see people from Mastodon, just cause it's neat that I can talk to them via lemmy :)
TIL that Lemmy and Mastadon are linked? I stopped using Mastadon because there was fuck-all being posted, except by the news outlets that I followed, and even tags corresponding to massive fanbases sometimes had fewer than a dozen entries...
We're all part of the Fediverse which includes Masto, Pixel, PieFed, Lemmy etc all communicating on the same interoperable ActivityPub protocol
Under that is the "Lemmy-verse/Thrediverse" that is what would be "link aggregator" type social media (eg reddit) and includes PieFed, Lemmy, MBin etc.
While very cool in that it basically ruins the whole notion of centralized Social media, it has its quirks. Like what this meme is about, there's no perfect way to translate a Lemmy reply to a mastodon user or a masto reply to a Lemmy post for a Lemmy user
Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I have yet to see any Mastadon content on here, or visa versa, but I'm still just dipping my toe into Lemmy without the tech know-how.
And PeerTube ideally, though it doesn't seem to work properly at the moment. You can see channels (as a community), but posts don't seem to be resolved.
It's like being invaded by Twitter.
I hate it and have blocked some instances just to avoid seeing it in the comments.
I don't see how that would accomplish anything though? On PieFed it would work, or an app like Sync or Connect that I thought people don't use much anymore, but in base Lemmy all it would do is mute the communities from that instance... which since Mastodon doesn't have communities should still allow the users to ping you endlessly, generating notifications each time?
I'm not sure whether it worked or I just happen to see fewer of those things as a coincidence.
