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!"
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.

Bro, could you help me set one up ._. I tried docker, ansible, from scratch using rust, and I kept running into an error. I tried all three methods several times on Debian 11, Debian 12, and Ubuntu 20.
Was there a guide outside of the official docs or am I just too inexperienced? Like with the from scratch setup, had all dependencies listed installed, but every time rust starts opening crates after a minute it just throws some error.
I was up and running in about 5 minutes with Lemmy Easy Deploy. I can’t recommend it enough.

Interesting to see lol. I know little of mastodon. Would seeing @ at the start of comments be a sign of users from it or is that only when replying to comments?
Hopefully that makes sense to you.
It’s basically a default action when replying to someone in Mastodon. It puts their username at the front.
Technically, you ARE on Mastodon now! Your comments are showing up here!
Woooo fediverse!
Love how this is all connected and each have their own identity/features still.

@Xylight @Arsaille This is fun, found our thread over at https://lemmy.world/comment/868985 . Not sure how I would find exact "posts" if they aren't already on the front page in Mastodon though.
You can follow an entire Lemmy community. If you do that, every COMMENT will show up in your Mastodon feed. If you see a comment you are interested in, clicking on it will give the post and the context for that comment!

@acupofcoffee This is 100% true! My "use case" I was thinking of was configuring a stand-alone mastodon instance for myself to "comment" on lemmy posts / comments. Not sure how effective that will be.
The best part is this huge spike just means more devs coming to the platform! Kbin is good, but maybe someone comes out with a new application that can easily do all of this even better!
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!
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.
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.
Hey! I've been trying to get the hang of the fedi stuff. Is there a good source for how to combine Lemmy and Mastodon at kbin?
Kbin combines Lemmy and Mastodon right out of the box - no setup needed.
Kbin is new and undergoing development, so the documentation is lacking, but it's pretty easy to use. It combines posts from the Fediverse (including lemmy) under its Threads section, and posts from Mastodon and other similar federated services in its Microblog section.
It also allows you to post in both formats, which is pretty fun. It also has search capacity for tags across instances (kbin.social/tag/cat) and domains (kbin.social/d/lemmy.world), the latter of which allows you to subscribe to or block those domains as you chose. I've posted more detail on a couple of threads here and here.
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
