Maybe there should also be one for Bluesky->Mastodon lol
Keep that up for a few more months
I’m not confident that the internet’s attention span is that long, unfortunately
To view a link on your own instance, paste it into your instance’s search.
Example with a link to a similar discussion: https://lemmy.ca/post/38173834 (paste that URL into your Lemmy’s search, like this)
(edit: I’ve been told that Lemmy is a bit smarter than I thought when doing those searches)
the way hashtags work? Mastodon has the same issue
The problem with hashtags is that the post itself won’t be federated unless someone is following the user who made the post (or someone who boosted it). So Lemmy would be unable to see those posts anyways.
I have thought about a simple ActivityPub service that pulls a Mastodon RSS feed of a hashtag and boosts them all from a group/community actor, I think that would work for following from Lemmy.
yea but it definitely pushed a lot of people away, if we had Lemmy v0.19.8 back then we would’ve retained way more users
just not the luckiest timing maybe, could’ve been a lot worse though (like before Lemmy even supported federation)
