You cannot log in to beehaw.org with you lemmy.ml account, but you can react to beehaw’s content form lemmy.ml.
Just paste the url of the beehaw post or comment that you want to interact with (vote, comment) in lemmy.ml’s search bar.
So, to summarize:
- you browse beeehaw while being offline
- you copy the url of the post or comment you want to interact with (under the colored fediverse icon)
- you paste it in lemmy.ml’s search and normally you will find it
@pimeys
You cannot follow Lemmy users, only communities. AFAIU, Lemmy just does not do anything with that request.
To share my experience : my Friendica account is set up to automatically boost anything @Liwott produces, and it does so as soon as this instance is aware of the Lemmy posting, but that does not always happen automatically. Sometimes I have to search my Lemmy post on Friendica, and only then it is boosted. Note that I do follow my Lemmy account from here
Call them whatever you want, but please not <something>verse. They do not form a separate universe, they talk as much with the rest of the fediverse as with each other
On Friendica, all you need is to !-mention the community where you want your post to appear
A cars specific instance would be my go to option in this scenario though.
This only offers one level of depth though. What if you want c/cars/imports/asia and c/cars/imports/europe for example?
@dansup looks like a feature suggestion 😀
Peertube version here, that one can also comment with their Lemmy account !

Interesting video, but the title (and the conclusion) is quite ridiculous. Of course we have no proof that all mass comes from interactions, especially not an experimental one. This is also true when speaking about “most of matter”, given that we don’t even know what most of the universe is made of.
Moderation on the fediverse seems to be quite a fashionable topic those weeks 😄 See for example the latest thread in a serie of @roko 's
I think the point might be that your Mastodon instance does not federate (yet) with my Friendica instance. Don’t know about @Awoo though as you seem to have already interacted with Lemmy
It is something one can do in their browser. For example in Firefox I use this extension. In Fennec F-droid I can directly do it from the “search” preferences.
See this thread (from Lemmy, click the “recycle” kind of logo):
(solved)Why cant i comment in other instances?
I would like to comment this post
lemmy.eus/post/5671
but asks me to log in. I am logged in in my instance and although I see people from ‘my’ instance commenting there too, when I try to log it says it does not find my account. Do I have to create an account in this instance first? What am I doing wrong?
You are projecting what you consider bad to the majority of users.
I did not use any definition of “bad” here. I said that people staying there is not a sign of their superiority wrt federated network. The preexisting large userbase suffices to explain why it keeps being large.
They are not staying there because of “network effect”, they are staying because their “few basic functionalities” are satisfied.
Except that the few basic functionalities (posting, commenting, reacting, following) are not what sets them apart from their federated counterparts.
And when they look for alternatives, federated social media will always be inferior to centralised solutions.
You are stating this like a fact, yet you have not explained what the big advantage of centralization is. You actually start from the hypothesis that centralisation is the core thing that everyone wants, even needs.
You have become the same thing you wanted to destroy.
Yes, and that went pretty fast. A few comments ago the majority of users were the developpers themselves, and suddenly they are a crowd whose fate is decided by a restricted elite.
Again, what is your better alternative?
Which “Lemmy app” are you talking about?
1st step : make sure that the devs of the app in question are aware of the problems that you want to be fixed.
I meant that the people who actually make use of federation are almost exclusively programmers. The rest of the users don’t benefit from federation.
Curious to see what numbers you are basing yourself on. I think most users use federation, as in communicate with users on other instances. As a fapsi.be user, don’t you mostly communicate with users from other instances?
It’s okay to let a few hands hold all the power, as long as their interests align with ours. Your philosophical disagreement with this concept has very little effect on reality.
What effect on reality does your agreement have though? If you want to trust benevolent dictators to stay benevolent and choose benevolent successors, let’s agree to disagree.
That’s not what i said,
It was suppose to be an example to the statement :
Why do you think all of the Fediverse has the same boring demographic of privalaged keyboard warrior programmers pretending like they are leading the revolution against big tech? And why is it that whenever another demographic arrives as refugees, they immediately demand defederation or die out immediately?
Lemmygrad don’t want to defederate from a population of “keyboard warrior programmers”, they want to defederate from “libs”, by which they actually mean anyone that is not both ML and anti-west.
As long as big tech can meet the needs of people, they will keep using their services.
Except that, because of network effet, people will keep using the service no matter how bad it becomes, as long as it keep a few basic functionalities? I use Facebook, not because I like the way it is, but because:
What is implied in your message is that is people keep using the service, it means it is a good one, as if there were no other constraints. How is this not an apology of capitalism?
The majority of the people don’t have any problem with this, why should they change their ways because some nerds decided that making a facebook account is a sin?
The majority of people don’t see a problem in capitalism either, does it mean one should stop advocating against it.
Facebook is a company that harvests users’ data and attention, under the hood of some social networking capabilities. Having a facebook account is not a sin, but it is exposing oneself to that, as well as pressuring one’s friends into doing the same, as I mentioned above. Federation aims at providing alternative for that.
(e.g., ads; users want as little as possible, big tech wants the maximum). If you want to solve the problems of users, you should first figure out irreconcilable contradictions like this
The fact that all successful big tech apps have ads is not because nobody had the idea of providing alternatives that are lighter in ads. It is because at some point they reached such a big size that network effect would be sufficient to keep users there anyway. Is your solution to that just hoping that someday one platform will be created that will be free of ads even when it reaches such sizes?
Federation aims at that, by allowing to build a big network without a single person being able to impose marketing choices over the whole network
off-topic : Not sure you’ve noticed since you pasted the link, but this was actually a quote-sharing of your post. On Mastodon or Lemmy, the kind of “recycle” logo links to your post.

MAU means “monthly active users”. As you can see, the ratio MAU/users is not higher for Mastodon than it is for Lemmy.
