"After my last long post, I got into some frustrating conversations, among them one in which an open-source guy repeatedly scoffed at the idea of being able to learn anything useful from people on other, less ideologically correct networks. Instead of telling him to go fuck himself, I went to talk to about fedi experiences with people on the very impure Bluesky, where I had seen people casually talking about Mastodon being confusing and weird.
“My purpose in gathering this informal, conversational feedback is to bring voices into the “how should Mastodon be” conversation that don’t otherwise get much attention—which I do because I hope it will help designers and developers and community leaders who genuinely want Mastodon to work for more kinds of people refine their understanding of the problem space.”
I’ve found posting to Lemmy from Mastodon easy and comfortable (just tag a community in the post), but following Lemmy communities from Mastodon isn’t a good experience.
I don’t see anything wrong with that. Lemmy and Mastodon are designed for different use cases. It’s great that they can interoperate to a degree, but heavy participation in a Lemmy community is best done from a Lemmy server.
