This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.
Will lemmy users be able to interact with Mastodon users in future and is there a roadmap for lemmy?
Isn’t there already some interop between Mastodon and Lemmy? I’ve seen Mastodon users comment on my Lemmy posts. Maybe Mastodon posts that aren’t replies don’t appear in Lemmy.
They speak the same protocol, but afaik Lemmy doesn’t really have a concept of following Posts from a user instead of Posts to a community, so you won’t see Mastodon posts on Lemmy.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the details.

They already can, outside of lemmy users not being able to follow mastodon users, since we’re a link-aggregator, not a micro-blogging platform.
