@AbstractLinguist @JohnDClay @s804 @Tigbitties @BaldProphet and it looks like lemmy to you because you are on lemmy. I'm on Friendica, which is why this whole post looks like Friendica even though there is contents in it from lemmy, Kbin Friendica, and even Wordpress. It like deciding to join a subreddit on your facebook profile, and it just works.

It's actually super cool to see my comment from a completely different platform! A great example of federation at work.
