I was wondering what was going on with that post. I’m glad it resonated with people across the fediverse. Cool!

Now I’ve got to figure out how to log into Mastadon with my Lemmy account. I didn’t even realize this was a thing.

@[email protected] You can't log into other Fediverse services using your Lemmy account. It's a Lemmy account for your specific Lemmy instance and doesn't work anywhere else.

What you can do is talk to people on other Fediverse services with your Lemmy account on your instance in the same way you are communicating with people from other Lemmy instances.

For example, the op you are replying to is using Friendica, you are using Lemmy and I am using Firefish right now.

I like to explain it like email or even phone providers. You can call someone on Verizon even if you're on ATT but you can't pay Verizon for your ATT bill
