I’ve found a lemmy site devoted to Star Trek (@startrek@startrek.website) and now I have an overwhelming urge to make the account “@WhatIsBrain@startrek.website”.

Interesting that this wound up posted in the very community you mentioned. ActivityPub wins again!
@Hexarei It did? That’s … actually really impressive!
It did! And thanks to the fediverse, I’m responding to you via that very post, on a completely separate Lemmy instance: https://programming.dev/post/4224624
And thanks to the imp of the perverse, I’m responding to you as @WhatIsBrain@startrek.website!
Excellent!

Hi there ;)The power of federation!
Yep! When you @ tag a Lemmy community account it posts to that community as a post regardless of what type of fedi account you use. The formatting is a bit weird though, it grabs the first few sentences of posts and puts them as the subject
It can lead to some accidental posts though, always interesting to see these pop up (ex: someone trying to message the Firefox mastodon account accidentally posting to the Firefox Lemmy community). We don’t see any other fedi post types except Lemmy posts, so we don’t really see other parts of the fediverse unless they @ tag the communities.
Here’s what it looks like on Lemmy
Do it and then join us on the Risa community. We have a nice time.
Remember to bring a horgahn
Ooh. I just spotted something. The video I attached didn’t go across the Mastodon/Lemmy boundary. Seems that Lemmy won’t let me upload video. :-/
It worked for me. I’m using Boost for Lemmy as my client.
Weird. I’m just using the web site.
Also worked for me using Sync for Lemmy, FWIW.
The video works for me using Lemmy on Mobile Firefox web browser. The fun quirks of early software lol
Looks fine on Voyager
It worked. I’m seeing it on lemmy.world using Firefox. I’m not using any of the special front-ends.
@qqmrichter @startrek@startrek.website @startrek@a.gup.pe …and it is already on https://lemmy-meter.info 😄
