I was annoyed at first, because who the heck would do that deliberately.
Then I realized it’s part of the software, so yeah it’s a little quirky but also cool that it works to begin with!
This is the most torn I’ve ever felt between an upvote and a downvote.
It’s like being invaded by Twitter.
I hate it and have blocked some instances just to avoid seeing it in the comments.
wait, i think i did it wrong
TIL that Lemmy and Mastadon are linked? I stopped using Mastadon because there was fuck-all being posted, except by the news outlets that I followed, and even tags corresponding to massive fanbases sometimes had fewer than a dozen entries…
We’re all part of the Fediverse which includes Masto, Pixel, PieFed, Lemmy etc all communicating on the same interoperable ActivityPub protocol
Under that is the “Lemmy-verse/Thrediverse” that is what would be “link aggregator” type social media (eg reddit) and includes PieFed, Lemmy, MBin etc.
While very cool in that it basically ruins the whole notion of centralized Social media, it has its quirks. Like what this meme is about, there’s no perfect way to translate a Lemmy reply to a mastodon user or a masto reply to a Lemmy post for a Lemmy user
Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I have yet to see any Mastadon content on here, or visa versa, but I’m still just dipping my toe into Lemmy without the tech know-how.
It doesn’t bother me at all 🤷♂️ I get excited when I see people from Mastodon, just cause it’s neat that I can talk to them via lemmy :)

Pixelfed is so much worse. Just look at this awful shit
