These instructions don’t appear to be documented. Here’s a post from a bit while ago that covers the basic functions of participating on Lemmy via Mastodon mentions.
The fact that The Fediverse apps are compatible with each other is amazing. This in theory means that one can create your own Fediverse app as long as its compliant to the specifications, right? For example, we could create a LinkedIn clone or something similar?
Yes, and there are already lots of different ones that, at least partially, work together:
Don’t know if there is something LinkedIn like though
Is that the same pic I’ve seen posted for like two years now? Are half of those still around? Are many new ones missing?
kbin has been discontinued but there is a fork called mbin, piefed and loops are missing and some very small projects, also bridgyfed isn’t there but it’s still a pretty good overview
Lemmy & Mastodon are completely different beasts with different formatting and function. This is a terrible abuse of ActivityPub IMO and degrades both services
Imo, AP was created with a great deal of integration in mind without being prescriptive. It’s hard to gauge what abuse really is when the feature in question is marginal and a bit inconvenient to use as other commenters have pointed out. I look at it more as a “look what we can do” type of thing.
