This is awesome! I would occasionally see someone showing up in a thread using their Mastodon account (usually fairly noticeable from the hashtags appending the message), and did get a bit curious about the workflow to do that. Seems a bit unintuitive, but honestly not nearly as clunky as some have made it out to be. The fediverse really is something special. Thanks for the informative post!
Yeah It’s kinda like fitting a square peg into a round hole as far a as usability in this state, but as an example of interoperability it’s pretty exciting IMO. And it’s cool when scrolling through a thread in Lemmy someone can just pop in from their Mastodon and make a comment or reply to one without needing a separate account or service. I’m not even sure if the Mastodon devs are interested in making that flow more seamless or not, but it would be cool to see.
