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.

Edit: This URL works, please boost there ๐Ÿ‘‡

Seems to be working then! (From lemmy)

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tagging @[email protected] for testing, that should make it to Mastodon and make this thread discoverable there as well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

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.

Opens only in browser, not in lemmy itself

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, from Lemmy it seems not possible to interact.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Well, this is an interesting new kind of ad.

hello from piefed!

Hello from kbin.run!

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the info.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Hello for Lemmy!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yay for influence farming!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

lemmy.blahaj.zpne seems to work

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Lemmy.radio here!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 @[email protected]. It probably doesn't work very well with the threadiverse though.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow, that's pretty cool. For some reason I can't even find @[email protected] 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.
