This is just a test to see if i can post on other Lemmy instances.

sting ( @sting@sopuli.xyz ) English11•1 year agoI still haven’t quite figured out how this works but here is a comment from a completely unrelated instance!
Hexorg ( @Hexorg@beehaw.org ) English7•1 year agoIt works like email. All instances talk in the background between each other.
SkipWapPallyPap ( @SkipWapPallyPap@lemmy.world ) English1•1 year agoOkay so expanding this analogy, I can email anyone including myself (posting to my own instance), and everyone can reply all at any time? Or am I slightly off?
Hexorg ( @Hexorg@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year agoNo that’s correct. Slight deviation from email is that email is unicast - you send email to one person (and if you have multiple recepients it gets copied that many times). On lemmy the code on instances does something more like a optimized broadcast when you post to your own instance when someone is subscribed to a community on your instance.
VentraSqwal ( @VentraSqwal@links.dartboard.social ) English4•1 year agoSame lol. But I’m glad it send to be working. I’m getting used to this slowly but surely.
And it seems to be improving fast enough, and I’ll try to contribute soon, too, once I get used to how this all works.
Kryostar ( @Kryostar@mastodon.online ) 1•1 year ago@sting here’s me trying to figure out how activity pub works. https://beehaw.org/comment/188913.
The entire thread that follows is very useful for understanding how this works, in a simple way.Edit: markdown wasn’t working.
papaya_punch ( @papaya_punch@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year agoI joined just a few hours ago so I might be somewhat off, but the way I think about it is: every instance is a server with its own set of communities and moderation rules. You can create an account on any instance but can interact with communities in that and in other instances. That is why you will see communities such as gaming in more than one instance. Is this close enough?
Track_Shovel ( @Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net ) English6•1 year agoYou good, fam.
russjr08 ( @russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net ) English4•1 year agoHello from The Outpost! 👋
Slashzero ( @slashzero@hakbox.social ) English2•1 year agoGood day to you!
nii236 ( @nii236@lemmy.jtmn.dev ) English1•1 year agoOh that’s cool, I knew I could read from remote communities but didn’t know I can make new posts on them too
raisedbyacupofcoffee ( @raisedbyacupofcoffee@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoIt’s all combined. Different instances have their own rules and communities, but you can interact with all of them.
nlm ( @nlm@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoHey! 👋
