Viewing a group from Lemmy like @fediverse on Mastodon looks like a weird stream of retoots / boosts. That’s probably going to confuse some folks as Lemmy & Kbin & friends take off

    @vhstape @lmorchard What it means is that every interesting conversation also adds an interesting conversation to Mastodon.

    People can interact with those discussions on the platform that suits them best.

    So if you’re an ex-Twitter user on Mastodon, it appears as a post. If you’re an ex-Redditor on Lemmy, it appears as a thread.

    And the magic of the Fediverse is that those ex-Redditors can engage with ex-Twitter users in conversations that wouldn’t take place had they remained on Twitter or Reddit.
