What makes Lemmy part of the Fediverse? Can one follow a Lemmy community from say a Mastodon account and receive post updates from the Lemmy Community when someone posts to the community they are following?

    @creatinglake I’m not entirely sure what you mean, but I get the theory - you’re saying it should require only one account to use any service in the fediverse. I don’t think that’s compatible with the way ActivityPub is structured now - although it would certainly help if every server used the standard client-to-server protocol, rather than a dozen variants on Mastodon’s - but a different standard might be able to make that work. It would have a lot of implications for security, though.
