@fediverse posting this from mastodon. It's amazing if this works!

Edit: it worked! Showed up in my Lemmy feed.

I wonder if the first days of SMTP were like this—people sending emails to each other in amazement that messages could reach people on other servers.

I remember the early days of instant messaging where people would just jump in a chatroom and ask where others were from, then sit there in awe. "HONEY, I'm talking to someone from Ireland! HONEY! Come look!"

And here I am in Ireland reading your message now

a/s/l - the classic first message from anyone in 2001.

Interesting times we’re are coming to, folks!

I was on usenet in the 90s. It was WILD. I remember trying to explain it to my mom, and she just didn’t quite grasp it. When I told her I was talking to someone from Germany, she asked if she was gonna have to pay for that, because it was long distance. Bless her heart.

I saw "Blackberry" yesterday and it was a really good experience putting you in the context of those times.

There is one scene where they type a message and wait for it to show up on another device. After a few seconds, it is there and every engineer in the room celebrates.

Then, management/sales guy comes in and they tell about what they've just done. He goes yeah, nice, but we do it already, it's called SMS.

The engineers then say that he is not getting the point. It was a message sent through the network using data, 0 dollars and all and salesman's eye get brighter.

So yes, I think the sensation was alike.

How interesting! It's nice to see the Fediverse in action.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Hello from my personal instance!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Woah, so the big 3 (Mastodon, Kbin, and Lemmy) of the fediverse text/discussion-based social media can all used from a single account/feed. That's awesome!

Hello from feddit.uk!

@[email protected] @[email protected] Greetings from my personal Calckey instance!

Absolutely wild that this works lmao, ActivityPub is crazy

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh wow, it actually works!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's wild that you can communicate like this across websites

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Across systems even. A front page that looks like half content aggregation, half microblogging, that's mad. That's awesome!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I’d love to get an explanation of how you made this work, because when I attempt to even follow my Mastodon account from Lemmy, it does not work.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Hi from lemmy.ml. The fediverse is so awesome!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Saying hey from over here on kbin.social, which picked this up as a Microblog (their feature for viewing Mastodon posts). If you're looking to be active on both Lemmy and Mastodon, Kbin is the best platform I've found thus far for navigating the Fediverse.

Helloo from yiffit.net (browse cautiously)

[–] astraeus 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s how the fediverse works isn’t it?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Yeah but the different platforms still have to implement translation between the different data structures if I understand correctly.

Like peertube federation became available in May 2022

Heya form lemmy.world (and Portugal!)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago
