You won't see the fediverse on Lemmy. But in Kbin, you can see it through the “Microblog” tab/feature.
Yo do see the fediverse. Seeing other Lemmy instances is already seeing the fediverse. Lemmy also sees Friendica forums, Peertube channels, ... The only limitation is that it only sees what's done inside a group.
@hypolite In HIMYM they do at least one with "private" (private joke, I think), and now that you mention it maybe someone replies that one does not salute a private
@hypolite The comment is itself a creation. Just because the owner does not think it fits their conversation does not mean the author has to lose their production or the ability to show it to their own followers.
However, I agree that it is better that the owner be responsible with distributing replies to the original recipients and that they be able to exclude a subtree from this procedure. But in that case I think the comment should be turned into a quote-share and normally distributed to its author's followers rather than deleted.
@hypolite I don't thiink it is desirable that the original poster have any kind of ownership right to someone else's posts. Imho, all the should be able to do is decoupling the comment (and it's subtree) from their thread
@feditips From an #OpenAccess perspective, I think it is a bad practice to restrict the publication of your content for marketing reasons. I think a better strategy is to publish all the content you want, then gradually reshare/boost it. Also, as @freeschool mentioned, there are other ways to discover your content than through a federated timeline.
