"Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year [...]"
OneFluffyBoi @noodlejetski For all the new people coming in, a fun thing about the Fediverse is that you can actually grab content from more platforms than just Lemmy if you feel so inclined. I, for instance, am commenting on this thread from Mastodon. I subscribe to users on PixelFed (decentralized Instagram + Flickr), Mastodon (decentralized Twitter kind of), Calckey (like Mastodon but with a different feature set), and Lemmy of course. So just keep in mind that that if you find yourself wanting more types of content, unlike silo'd corporate social media, you do have the option to explore the rest of the Fediverse ecosystem and have the content there show up in your feed. Mastodon alone has like 2.1 million monthly active users.
I'm interested in figuring this out myself. I've been using Masto since November, and keep hearing about the interoperability of the Fediverse, but have yet to be able to work out how it actually works in practice. Like, how are you commenting on this from Mastodon, because I just searched for Beehaw from there, and it just brought me to this page and wouldn't show me anything first.
@DJDarren On Mastodon, search for "@ technology @ beehaw.org" (no spaces) and you'll be able to see the posts from there.
Of course, since Mastodon is a Twitter-esque platform and Beehaw is a Reddit-esque platform, the layout on Mastodon isn't ideal. But it is workable.
Thank you! I've done that, and yeah, it seems to work. After a fashion. It'll take some time to get used to, mind.
Still figuring out how Fediverse and ActivityPub and all that works, and it's *really* weird to see my posts on another site turn up on Mastodon, never mind being able to reply to myself and have it show up elsewhere...
