@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.

      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.

      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.

    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?

      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!

    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.
