One of the cool things about the #redditmigration & the rise of #Kbin & #Lemmy is it is a big positive to both the #threadiverse and the existing users on the Fedi: On the Threadiverse side: Lots of brand new blood from fleeing Reddit new users now discovering the Fediverse for the first time. New blood. New ideas. On the Masto/Fedi side: I think many are seeing REAL federation from/to an *entirely* other type of Fedi platform for the first time in the wild. 8 comments

and lots of people like the twits, looking around and instantly exlaining everybody what is wrong in the fediverse and how it shoud change so that they get their twit feeling back ....

@tchambers Your new instance, magazines, posts have been a huge assist. Having people established on Mastodon shepherding the new users on and helping to answer questions, reduce confusion, etc. all while not tone policing is nice to see. The power of the Fediverse is definitely starting to come into focus. I honestly think it will be a paradigm shift for content creators if they embrace it. It's a bit thrilling to watch unfold.

@tchambers about the "cross-platforms federation", am I supposed to be able to see Lemmy/kbin posts in my mastodon app if I follow them ? Can't understand if it's not possible or if the instances are just swamped

@tchambers I think some of the federation is not perfected yet. I follow my kbin account on Mastodon but do nto see all my boosts. However, I can interact really well from my Mastodon account to the startrek.website instances. I can post to the community from Mastodon by @ing it, I can follow and like posts and comments.

@quentinmre @tchambers This is the part that is the most confusing to me. I can sign up everywhere, but still need to go somewhere else to see the …threads, I guess. I can’t figure it out.

@SudoNaaame @tchambers @quentinmre It's actually the same for normal activitypub users trying to follow mastodon "threads"....... it jus does not really work... ;) But still, we all can interact with eachother in some way. ;) |

@tchambers It makes people see that every project connected to the fediverse already has a headstart of users, they don't need to start from scratch. Hope this encourages more projects
