All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyone—and could revolutionize how people communicate online.

    @60d @heavyboots
    Kinda? This is @andrewrgross tooting at you from Mastodon, but I had to search for your address to find this comment. And I couldn’t find it from a different server. So… yes, but actually no.

    Still, I find it fascinating the degree that they’re connected. I’m gonna go see if this showed up on Lemmy now.

      Your toot is here. Can you see my reply in Mastodon?

        @60d
        Yes!

        I just “favorited” it and clicked reply. I believe the reply shows up as a reply, and the favoriting action looks like an upvote.

        It’s kinda silly. Like… is this useful? Unclear. But the ability for me to interact across two very different platforms seems like a technical achievement to me.

          Also, I just took a screen cap and I’m embedding it in a reply toot. If this works, you can see what this conversation looks like in Mastodon. I’m interested to see if this shows up in Lemmy.

            Yup, I can see the screenshot and the up votes, so it was already more integrated than I thought. Cool!

            There really are dozens of us!

              This thread exchange made me smile, and I had to show it to one of my partners while giving the rundown about Activity Pub.

              This shit is so neat.

                Thanks, I think it’s fun too. Interesting to see the current level of integration between platforms. Thanks for also giving me something to smile about 😊
