This is shameless self-promotion, but part of a working theory I have that Mastodon users have more to offer Lemmy than your average Reddit user. See my other post about it here: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/2174573
TLDR: Mastodon users are inherently active posters and already understand federation. Also there are MILLIONS of them.
Please consider following if you’d like to get more Lemmy in your Mastodon feed or more Mastodon users in your Lemmy feed!
You know how when you’re the first one to subscribe to a community in an instance and you only get the first handful of posts? Imagine that for nearly every post you come across.
Also authorized fetch / secure mode not being completely implemented by Lemmy means some responses might not be making it through here as well.
In addition to instances on both ends of the software gap that may be misconfigured in a way the other can’t make sense of.
Ahh my previous interactions with mastodon folks while on lemmy are making more sense now. Thanks!
