Hello,

It’s hard to find information about this in this early stage of Lemmy.

I know that there is a protocol “ActivityPub” that kind of allows communication between Fediverse platforms and instances.

My use case is the following one: If a specific person posts a tweet/toot on Mastodon, I want to automatically create a post in a Lemmy community.

Can you give me some tips how to achieve this? I’m a software developer by the way, so writing code is not a problem. But is it even necessary to write code?

    I tried this out on my mastodon account and it worked really well. Honestly, if browsing communities on Mastodon wasn’t such a nightmare I wouldn’t even need the Lemmy account.

      I’m hoping one day we’ll be able to follow communities in mastodon using the ! channel @ serverName.tld notation. It could simplify the way people maintain mas groups as well.

      You can follow communities not using the double @, but all that turns up in your mastodon feed are boosts.
