Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

By FediBridge, do you mean connecting different parts of the fediverse? Could you explain how it’s done?
No i mean this community

Its goal is to spread the word about the Fediverse
Well things like Piefed are built using a different language. But it is also a article aggregation platform. But being that it is on activitypub it should bridge and be connected. Meaning someone on Piefed will see this comment thread, respond, and never have to create an account outside their instance from their applications. We will also see their posts. As more social media platforms rise and are connected through activitypub, the user base of Lemmy doesn't necessarily have to grow, as the content may grow through sheer connectivity.
I believe that may be what they meant.
Mastodon I think you may be able to see through Lemmy, I just can't remember how
Thank you for the detailed explanation. How do you connect, for example, Piefed and Lemmy?
It happens natively on the backend through activitypub. So for insurance, I logged into Piefed, and made this response from there for show.
Posted from piefed
Which like email (which is the "og" federation) you can see both responses, and see the @ will show my response came from outside
-posred from lemmy
Ah, I see now. Thanks for the demonstration :)
Anytime. It was either that or go try to chase down where 2 of the chickens went to in the woods... Figure I'll just let them turn up when it gets dark
Yep you can see Mastodon to Lemmy and back again. Piefed goes a step further and pull comments from both platforms.
