@BeAware @Maj@pixelfed.social But I would have to ask all the people I harassed into following my Mastodon-bridged-to-BS to follow the the pixelfed-bridged-to-BS instead/in addition?

@Maj@pixelfed.social So posted cat on my pixelfed, which I then boost/reshare from my Mastodon, so it will go out to my followers on BS and Threads... A bit weird/convoluted but it works?

How are people using lists? Share a screenshot if you'd like!

@BeAware @drq

Pasting https://lemmy.world/post/24584410 into search just gives me the *mastodon* post with the url in it.

@BeAware @drq

I appreciate both your help and not trying to hold y'all responsible for the ux here! I know there's a lot of work happening on how things do/should work between fediveres platforms and we're in early days with a lot of onboarding happening for new folks.

@BeAware @drq

It's just a hard sell for people who are used to "Open reddit, read, comment" to have to have multiple tabs open, browse / find things on different instances, then switch back to Mastodon cut-and-paste urls into search, then create a post, then go grab the community name to @ it.
I'll come back to this when I have more bandwidth to play around.
Thanks again!

@BeAware @drq Yeah and can we just acknowledge that the experience for interacting with lemmy from mastodon is not ideal? I mean, it isn't right?

@drq I set up an account ages ago but didn't see much. Will go back and take another look.

@drq hmmm I need to RTFM then because it says "you must log in or register to comment" when I follow that link.

@drq yeah I mean I'm here now right? But there's a missing step for Lemmy to know I'm me, here?

Login wants an email address. I don't see "login from the fediverse" anywhere...

@drq uh, I don't understand what that means in actionable steps.

Maybe I'll try to figure it out some other time. Thanks!

@drq how do you know what Lemmy groups there are?
How do you follow and/or contribute to existing conversations?

@drq No and kinda don't want to learn?

This shouldn't feel like installing a linux driver in 1999. Think I will shelve the idea for now!

Thanks again though.

@evan @StarTrekScreens This is my fav to whip out when anyone complains that ST has suddenly become 'political'... not because I think it will change someone's mind if their media literacy is that poor to begin with but just because it's so iconic.

I for one am just happy to hear that Tik -Tok rations have increased!

@evan @Maj@pixelfed.social Yes, but 1. do people really have to do their own math to get that? it's nowhere in the UI... and 2. it wasn't showing up in search before but now see it.

Is this what folks are doing? Create a pixelfed account and then follow yourself here and bost your own photo posts? Or am I missing a smarter way?

Maybe dumb question?

How do I find the fediverse address for a pixelfed account? i.e. my own, so I can follow me there, here...

The url in the address bar is "https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/783389617653661133" and the username under my avatar is just "@maj" ...

I'm going to guess it would be maj@pixelfed.social but 1. that has no results when I search from mastodon and 2. kinda a PITA in general for people to easily /quickly share their profile and/or fediverse findable username?

@evan it's not collective but it feels that way because we're all running the same hardware (more or less) and we hang out with people with the same input (more or less)

"Parallel consciousness" maybe.

Via the Tumblr machine.

We're at the end of an era.
