So Elon’s a “visionary” who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!

He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website…

        Just a question: how do I link to my mastodon profile on something like Bandcamp? It doesn’t accept the URL starting with the @ :/

      I was under the impression I can also see Mastodon posts on Lemmy? Sorry, I still don’t get the Fediverse.

        Yes, but it’s a bit weird and the interface isn’t designed for it. I keep them separate, but I could see it being useful in a pinch.

        A few weeks ago I found that the server software of Lemmy wasn’t really prepared for that yet. You were able to open a Mastodon users profile (it wasnt easy, though), but you werent able to subscribe to it as on Lemmy you cannot subscribe to users, and since content is only synced to Lemmy (e.g. from a community) if users are subscribed to it on your server, posts of Mastodon users didnt get synced, and so you didnt see anything.

        I don’t know if it has changed yet, did not try it again since then, but I think theres an issue on Lemmy’s github repo about this
