I noticed my feed on Lemmy was pretty dry today, even for Lemmy. Took me a while to realize lemmy.ml has been going up and down all morning, and isn’t federating new posts.
But, since this is all still federated, I can still create and read posts on other instances while I wait. Even this one! Any other service would just be unavailable completely right now.
I do miss the larger communities on lemmy.ml - asklemmy, memes, and I really wanted to watch the reddit fallout on /c/reddit. Maybe I’ll look around for some good replacements for those. Open to suggestions!
@pankkake @ubergeek77 I’ll actually use this as a an opportunity to test something - I copied your comment’s link into mastodon and am replying to it with my mastodon account. I can see the thread in mastodon, and in theory, this reply should show up properly in Lemmy too.
@julianh @pankkake @ubergeek77 I, too, am testing this mechanic
Do you have any idea how upvotes/downvotes get mapped to boosts and vice versa? I “followed” a couple of lemmy subs and I can see that they are boosting certain comments on posts in my mastodon feed.
It looks no different than any of the other comments to me. Though I haven’t been here for even a day, so… :))
Yeah so it seems to work! Pretty cool that I can do that.
