Masto to Lemmy works OK. Lemmy to Masto not at all. I have a hazy memory of someone posting to Lemmy from a Friendica instance but might be wrong.

Generally, its a bit indifferent.

1. Do Not Go To War With The Demons Of Mazandaran by Lowen.
2. Erosion / Avulsion by Hidden Mothers
3. Bloom & Decay by Dawn Treader
4. Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation
5. Hellfenlic by The Infernal Sea

A mug on a plate is not interchangeable, conceptually, with a teacup and saucer. Even ones decorated in a rather fetching Wedgewood-esque style.

just confirmed my point

Or maybe you’re so used to posting on a platform that’s bad to hold a conversation on you don’t notice when you’re part of one on a platform that is good at being conversational on.

You don’t really pay much attention do you Mr “look for the signal”?

If you stick to the apps that are indicated as being well supported it’s good. The main reason I use it is because I’m part of a team that includes people not comfortable with the command line so having a web interface to manage a server means not everything falls on my shoulders.

I’ll save you the time: “It’s just conjecture”.

The blog style format (post + threaded comments) is a lot more inviting to a conversational style than microblogging. Some Masto instances have very open post character counts but some are much more limiting - as are Bluesky and Xitter. If you’re not able to explain your point clearly it hampers the ability to have a decent conversation about it.

Speaking as one, the majority are decent people but there is a minority who are openly fash and a sadly growing amount who tolerate fash bands cos the riffs are good.

If its open source and privacy respecting then I’ll use the app. If its not and I have to use the service then website
