Does Lemmy use the ActivityPub protocol? If so can a Mastodon client be used to interact with Lemmy communities?

    OK, this is VERY good. And just mention it anywhere? Hmm. Does the first link or image end up in the link or image field in Lemmy? I’ll try your test group!

    Ah yes, I didn’t mean to skip group / community following, and I am following some already. The note there is that the communities don’t make posts – they boost the posts of the OP account posts / commenter posts (this would be a good screenshot too). I need to put all of this probably on a page on cosocial.info as a permanent FAQ.

    You’re right, if I were to create user vancouver@news.cosocial.ca, that would overlap with a group named vancouver. On lemmy, it’s @ vs ! of course.

    Feels like Lemmy should check for that and not allow it? My lag on sign up makes it annoying to test. One of the things I need to ask you about.
