2. Also yes, you can use one account from one instance to create a “Thread” in a community/magazine/group located in another instance. Or, reply to an existing one located in another instance.
However, there are still some cases wherein a new “Thread” or reply, does not federate well in another instance. It could be software related or instance configuration. (Or, defederation.) But works fine in non-Lemmy / non-Kbin instances.
3. Yes, similar to #2, you can use a Calckey, Hubzilla, Friendica, Akkoma, Mastodon. The “Threads” will appear as a user's post.
Also similar to #2, federation hiccups can be software related, server configuration, or admin defederation setting. Or, there are just too many requests, it is taking time to defederate properly.
You don't need a separate account like what I have, unless you want to test and/or use the “Thread” UI and UX Lemmy and Kbin offers.
If they leave because there is not much interaction between link-aggregator types of software (as Wikipedia calls it) and Mastodon software, then it is the failure of those software, not the #Fediverse.
Always remember, the fediverse is ALL software communicating through the #ActivityPub protocol. Mastodon is a software. Lemmy is a software. Kbin is a software.
If your question is about the fediverse, then I don't see how this applies:I’m leaning yes. If cross-platform activity is essentially irrelevant but more of a minor awkward perk at times then the fediverse doesn’t exist (yet) at the level of being a social media platform or space.Because there is a lot of engagement happening in the fediverse network. It is not a “minor awkward perk at times”
You have to reshape your thinking about what the Fediverse is. 1. The Fediverse is not Mastodon. (That's like saying Asia is China.) 2. Mastodon is just one part of the Fediverse network. (Or, China is just one part of Asia.) 3. This so-called “threadiverse” is only one part of the Fediverse network, it is not a separate thing. (This usage of “threadiverse” is what's causing the confusion.) 4. There is no “mastoverse” or any “-verse” because they can all interoperate, engage, communicate, with each other through the ActivityPub protocol.
Your current thinking, if I may, is like this: a. There is a yahooverse (ref: threadiverse). b. And email (ref: fediverse) and gmail (ref: Mastodon) are interchangable. c. And sometimes it can also be called gmailverse (ref: mastoverse).
There is no “insufficient activity” in the fediverse network. There are already some people who left who said there is too much noise, and it is so hard to keep up with everything.
If Reddit migrants leave because of a supposed “insufficient activity”, it probably is due to the software they are using. Maybe the software has a bug. Or, maybe the software chose not to show to the users how very active the fediverse is, and their only interaction with the fediverse is if someone replies to their “Thread”. (And as an aside, this is where Kbin wins because it shows the wider fediverse through its “microblog” feature/tab.)

I hope it makes sense. It's hard to explain things if English is not not one's primary language, and with that I apologise if it was confusing or too wordy.
For people like them who also produce their own songs, it is a wonder they have no idea about #Copyright, #Licenses, and #Royalties.
This is the problem when you rely on your staff to do everything for you. Or, you simply don't give a da*n for whatever reason.
To Anne Curtis, there is a law called Copyright law. While yes playing the song on your show is a good promotion, the Copyright law states that you should have acquired a License to perform it publicly. It is also outside of the “fair use policy”―which we don't have in the Philippines, but we have something similar yet not exactly the same.
Yes, Anne Curtis, there is “such a thing” since the 1700s.
A friendly advise, Mrs. Anne Curtis-Smith, study Copyright because if your attitude is like that, you might accidentally do something that falls under #CopyrightInfringement. You probably will claim, “it's on the Internet so it's free to use” or “I used CTTO”.
Then the Rightsholder of whatever work you infringe upon brings you to court. Then you'll probably argue, “I've already taken it all down”, and surprise, none of those will save you from an infringement case, unless the Rightsholder accepts an out-of-court settlement.
No one is above the law. Most of us are just getting “lucky” no one sued us yet. But, one wrong move. Infringe on the Rights of the wrong person or entity…
Oh, one last thing, not because you don't hear about Copyright infringement cases does it mean it is not happening. Either no one is bothering to cover such cases (because it doesn't sell), or the defendants or the Rightsholder, are keeping the processing behind close doors. After all, a Copyright Infringement can be very damaging to one's reputation, and a Rightsholder only wants to get paid, not to shame the offender.
That is interesting. I don't recall that bit of history (probably was taught in early elementary). But, yeah, how I wish the Pan-Malayan Union panned out. It's wider in scope too.
Thank you for sharing!
PS. It deserves an alternate history fiction, I certainly want to know how things would have been if it became a reality.
@Munkao@dice.camp I'm not sure. I think you were recalling the precursor to #ASEAN, which was #MaPhilIndo (Malaya + Philippines + Indonesia?
However, while it is being pursued, a certain political group in Malaya, backed by the United Kingdom, pushed for a Malaya + Sabah + Singapore (MalaySIa) federation. And then later kicked out Singapore.
With Maphilindo out of the picture, the Philippines pushed for ASEAN instead, which was originally meant to block the growing influence of Communism in Southeast Asia.
(n.b. I'm just trying to remember things, my answer would more likely be different if I dug this part of our history again.)
I think it's safe to say that only Mastodon opens uses its local cache to open a remote profile. Other software, regardless if they have a local cache, opens the URL since it starts with https: and not a webfinger.
