I've been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?

Thanks. Seems to let me follow them, but I can't see the posts in mastodon, only by following the link through to the lemmy community. I guess I should try commenting from Mastodon or something. It's fine though, I will get used to it eventually :)

@MrFlamey Give it some time. If you follow a lemmy community, all posts of that community will _from now on_ reach your Mastodon instance and be displayed there. There is no retroactive synchronization.

(The exception to this is when someone from your Mastodon instance already followed that community in the past: Then somebody else already did make those posts available to your instance and you can immediately see some posting history of that community.)
