Oh right. No, it doesn't work that way in my experience. I've seen Mastodon users post to Lemmy Communities by @ mentioning them, and Mastodon users replying to posts. It often looks weird because replies have an @ mention (or multiple, in the case of replies to replies), but everything shows up in Lemmy how you'd want it to.

Plausible deniability went out the window in 2018 when he called people paedophiles because he's a projecting prick.

This wanktank wasn't on the market in 2018.

I bought this before Elon went crazy

I wonder how many people actually mean that, and how many people use it to protect their nazimobile from damage. Because he went openly crazy 7 years ago this year as far as I'm concerned. This isn't just a "since he owned Twitter" thing.

Yup. I have pity for owners of Tesla from pre-2018. There were some pretty problematic things before that, but that year, with his violations of SEC orders to not do security fraud, and his heavy projection onto that hero who saved the kids in the cave, is the last time they could have any benefit of the doubt.

You joke, but it looks like they actually did manage to regain their domain. Not sure how.

Eh, Lemmy is way more mature as a platform than PixelFed is, and he mentioned that.

I think the explanation being in relation to what it's intended to replace is more likely. He doesn't care as much about getting people off Reddit as he cares about getting people off Zuck and Musk's platforms.

Why yikes? The scenario you described is literally the same as 50,000 users signing up to Lemmy to post in a Lemmy Community.

I would have put it in less harsh terms, but yes, basically this.

LW definitely can't handle more traffic than it already has. It already (thanks to the admins' refusal to update to the latest version of Lemmy, which fixes this issue) takes multiple days for LW content to get federated to other instances properly, which is why I've had to switch over to this alt account of mine because there are zero comments on this post in my main instance. With more users, that delay would grow from days to potentially weeks.

IMO bridgy is not well designed. The fact that it requires both the follower and the followee to specifically opt in basically makes it DOA. Both Mastodon and BlueSky are completely open and public in terms of post visibility, so bridgy should have been designed to require explicit opt outs from anyone who didn't want their content bridged.

Sorry for the late reply, I don't use this account very often.

But by "it", I meant "entering characters using the HTML entity code". But I can see how my comment could have been interpreted to mean the nbsp itself.

On platforms that support it (Reddit definitely did, and I suspect Lemmy will), you can enter the nonbreaking space with  . 0 mg.
