Favorites (likes, stars, whatever) don’t Federated, so the only favorites that your instance shows are the ones it knows about, being the favorites that are local.
When I view that same post from my instance I also see 0 favorites. But when I view it on mastodon.social there are 366.
It’s using the custom emoji on the user’s instance, then just putting the :code: for the emoji in their display name. Like on my Mastodon account my display name is entered as hybrid havoc :1m: :rm:
:1m: and :rm: are custom emojis I have setup on the instance.
Are you aware that your instance is currently home to nearly 20,000 users, while still only reporting just 2 posts? From the outside looking in your instance looks like the current home of a spam bot farm waiting to happen.
Most of those users seem to have joined in the past 2 days. https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.elest.io
Meta is launching their own ActivityPub service.
Who got together and decided what it was “supposed to be”? Why does the fedi.tips account consistently behave as though they are some authority?
Either it’s an open protocol or it isn’t. If instances want to immediately defederate, that is their right of course. But to my mind it sort of demonstrates that they don’t believe in what they preach, and they don’t believe that they can offer a more compelling social offering, even with direct access to Meta’s user base.
Literally every repeated talking point I’ve seen around this is all rumor and conjecture. At the end of the day we don’t actually know how this will play out until Meta’s offering is launched and we see how they do business.
Also unclear where the “paid off” aspect comes from. The linked post doesn’t say anything about anybody being paid.
Mostly because the people writing them don’t understand how their post will be parsed, and the post lives simultaneously on Lemmy / Kbin and Mastodon.
Lemmy just takes the first paragraph from the post as the title. So if the poster knows that, they can format it like:
Title title title
Body of post
They are able to access, but what is not wanted (I think) is for every instance to have replicas of every other instance. That federation and replication should be (and is) based on user interaction.
I use a browser extension to make this sort of remote interaction easier for Mastodon. Seems like having something similar for Lemmy would not be impossible. I’m not a dev though and wouldn’t know where to start.
Kbin might actually convert links to communities to the local equivalent. Kbin is different software and may just be handling that particular thing differently than Lemmy.
I believe this is true.
This is not true. You can subscribe to a community on beehaw.org even if your account is on lemmy.ml. That’s what this post is about, that the process for doing that is unintuitive.

Good luck!
Good luck!
Another one for Storygraph. Really like it. I had considered checking out Bookwyrm but couldn’t find an instance of it that spoke to me, and the idea of trying to export and import all of my Storygraph data wasn’t appealing.
