Mastodon has a ton of apps and Lemmy app development is going crazy right now. Are there any apps that can use both Lemmy and Mastodon accounts (and preferably Kbin accounts too)? I know the interfaces may need to be different, but the protocols are the same as far as I understand it, so it seems technically possible.
Fedilab handles mastodon, pixelfed and peertube in one app. It’s the most multifunctional app I know of. Pretty impressive, but it doesn’t do lemmy/kbin, or even misskey.
I’ve been planning on trying out Infinity for Everything
There is any release yet?
It’s still in Alpha, you can still try it out but I warn you it’s very very buggy at the moment. It does have a lot of potential though, hopefully it’ll get better as time goes on.
Uh, what is this?
Speaking as someone who used Infinity for Reddit.
It’s a fork that aims to add support to Infinity for a bunch of other platforms, among those kbin and lemmy. It’ll also let you use Reddit but that’ll be much more limited than before since you need to provide your own API keys and you won’t be able to access NSFW.
Amazing. Loved Infinity for Reddit. I’ll definitely keep my eye on this.
You can see posts on Lemmy community already. But can’t see comments. Also no iogin for now.
I wasn’t able to view Lemmy content (actually any content) on the build I downloaded. How did you view them on yours?
First goto 3 dot menu > more options > go to subreddit Then input the lemmy community name in the following format :
lemmy:android .world
to visit https://lemmy.world/c/androidAh I see thank you for telling me. I just tried it and it seems to work, though it is a bit finicky (gives random 502 errors) but that’s to be expected from alpha software. Hopefully this will get better in the future.
How? Mine just turns up empty, and as you say, you can’t login yet
Technically all of them work already, just with subpar UI. If you follow a Lemmy community on Mastodon by searching for it like a user, the community’s posts show in your Mastodon timeline.
Each community post appears as a Mastodon post boosted by the community “user”. Threaded replies all work.
To make a post to a community, you tag the user in any top-level Mastodon post.
Subpar UI really is what kills almost everything…
I can’t be tired of saying how much I hate mastodon’s default UI, where you can’t pull posts from users simply because you server doesn’t synchronize (what’s wrong with pulling it straight from the original server)? Imagine if you subscribed to a community on Lemmy and it only showed posts and comments AFTER you subscribed…
Or the follow menu that says “please copy and paste this on your app”… Really? If you check docs.joinmastodom…something it even says “just type your username@domain and we will do a remote follow”
I think Lemmy apps will evolve faster and show others what is needed to progress quickly. This is natural when considering how Lemmy users interact with each other.
I have been really surprised by how little progress Mastodon has made in terms of features. Especially compared to something like Calckey.
Imagine if you subscribed to a community on Lemmy and it only showed posts and comments AFTER you subscribed…
If you’re on a small instance, that’s actually the case with Lemmy, lol. You can only see a remote community if someone from your instance subscribed to it.
You can see the remote community once you search and you can see all posts in that community, from your server.
On Mastodon, even after you subscribe, you CANNOT see old posts on your instance, unless you put each post url individually in the search bar.
So, not the same at all.
Not quite yet, it’s assumed that some of the bigger Reddit apps that are shutting down may do all three to maximise their userbase.
Fediverse is Fun please
I am using thunder and its been great so far. Look and feel is like Infinity for Reddit. Its on Github and izzydroid repo in Fdroid.
How does it feel on Mastodon posts? Are you able to follow Mastodon users?
lemmy isn’t federated with mastodon(for now)
Probably due to not being compatible with Microblogging/Profile posts. If they added that feature they could probably make mastodon stuff work.
