Every time you see a screenshot of a Tweet copied to Reddit or Facebook, that's a cry for federated social networks that has gone unanswered.— Evan Prodromou (@evanpro) November 30, 2020

    Federation is a great idea and I hope that it grows in use. But I still cannot read Lemmy posts from Mastodon and vice versa. (If there is a way to do that, let me know.)

    Until then, using an example of taking screenshots on one service and posting it to another is a mute point I think.

      As you can see from the milestone/goals, cross-platform federation is still down the road, but very much on the list of to-dos. Currently Lemmy is federating between instances running Lemmy. It will be federating further with platforms running on ActivityPub (like Mastodon) as it matures. I just used the tweet from Evans to casually talk about federation, not as a deep dive on what it is all about.
