Love it on desktop, so many more features and the UI is super slick. It just doesn’t have an app yet to make it complete

oh I love the concept! It’s like all of us looking at an RSS feed and talking about what’s cool. Looking forward to trying it out, thanks for your hard work!

I think both are important considerations. You don’t want the owner to disappear on you the next day and you have to migrate and you still want a local timeline that’s relevant to your interests.

sure! most of this functionality is in the search box. You can paste a URL and have it show up right in Lemmy. For example, you can post the URL to my profile, or search for my username and see my posts there (or you should be able to I thought, I just tested it and it doesn’t show my posts but it does offer to send me a message)

Edit: This seems to work better between Friendica and Mastodon, but as development continues between platforms I’m sure it will work even better!

Edit 2: So I just tested it in reverse, I can see a feed of a Lemmy group in Mastodon. I think Lemmy just needs some more development time and love and it will be able to do the same :)

the nice thing about the fediverse is that you can still interact with the other platforms if you so choose, so you aren’t limited! I’m glad you found something that works for you and i hope you have a great time :)
