Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

So some of the things I’m seeing in Memmy are from mastodon?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Could be, though it's a little clunky to use it that way still. You can subscribe to Lemmy communities from mastodon but you will see every comment as a 'toot' and it's a bit of a clusterfuck to view larger subs that way. It can be great for smaller ones though. I have seen people post and comment here from mastodon but that platform seems like it is built more for following individual accounts and hashtags. Kbin has more capability in the microblogging dept. if that's what you're looking for.

Probably not because discoverability of Mastodon content from Lemmy is not very good; kbin supports it better. I have managed to view a Mastodon user profile from a lemmy instance by searching for it, but I wasn't able to find a good way to see their posts.
