From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In a surprise move, Ubuntu developers have agreed to stop shipping Flatpak, preinstalled Flatpak apps, and any plugins needed to install Flatpak apps through a GUI software tool in the default package set across all eight of Ubuntu’s official flavors, as of the upcoming Ubuntu 23.04 release.

Wait, how did you view this post via Mastodon? I know both Lemmy and Mastodon use ActivityPub but the UX and urlpatterns are quite different and client-specific. What is the format of the link you used to view this?

I also demand answers. Should I be able to see Mastodon posts via my Lemmy/wefwef?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I found out in the meantime. You can find communities from Lemmy on Mastodon using the @communityname@server pattern. So @[email protected] will find this community. On Mastodon it'll appear as a user boosting every post (both top post and comments) and that way you can find individual comments.

It isn't great, the UX is clearly different and not made for each other, but it works and you can favourite or boost individual posts with it.

Interesting. I was able to find a few big Lemmy communities on Mastodon. But I couldn't find my tiny instance community.

I wonder what I need to do to get my own instance to federate with Mastodon?

The instance needs to have https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/114 applied, it might not be in the version you are running yet.
