A post from Mastodon, that's supposed to reach all the Fediverse

This post can reach not only #Mastodon & the #Fediverse, but beyond like #Bluesky. How far can it go? I have built a tool to aggregate, with what software and from which instance it is boosted (or faved). Please share far, to show where you're seeing this. #SocialMedia #Sharkey #Akkoma #Firefish

Edit: This URL works, please boost there 👇

Seems to be working then! (From lemmy)

Seems like there is no way to interact from lemmy or mbin

Tagging @mho@social.heise.de for testing, that should make it to Mastodon and make this thread discoverable there as well.

That worked but federated only this direct thread up to the fedia.io post.

They'd have to mention the community, then it would show up, but I don't think it's possible to access standalone, at least not until Lemmy lets you follow people.

And via this URL? https://fedia.io/m/fediverse/p/645161/This-post-can-reach-not-only-Mastodon-and-amp-the-Fediverse

Opens only in browser, not in lemmy itself

Yeah, from Lemmy it seems not possible to interact.

to interact with it from mbin you gotta pull in the original post, so copy the url from this one and put it in the search bar

Well, this is an interesting new kind of ad.

You have reached us. Is it supposed to say anything or is it just an echo?

I hoped that a boost here would reach #Mastodon. But that doesn't seem to be the case. But a boost on the URL I edited in is seen.

Thanks for the info.

So posting just that url let's us post this same content? Can't we change the title?

Bluesky? Isn't that the twitter fork that doesn't use AP? How is it on there?

As Bluesky is federated through it's own protocol (AT), ActivityPub content can be bridged to the AT protocol and appear on BlueSky. This is currently possible through Bridgy.fed.

If you want your stuff to be bridged to BlueSky, just follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. It probably doesn't work very well with the threadiverse though.

Wow, that's pretty cool. For some reason I can't even find @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy on programming.dev. Maybe the domain is banned or something...

It might also be that they don't federate well - Bridgy was not built with Lemmy in mind, and Lemmy was not designed to be a very flexible application of ActivityPub.

It could also be that Lemmy can't search for users that are not already observed on the server, making Bridgy invisible as the account itself never posts any content anywhere.
