I apologize if there’s posts on this already. I’m still new here, and it’s very confusing.

I’ve read through the wikipedia entry, blogs, stack overflow posts, lemmy threads, etc… however in all of them, I feel like everyone glosses over how one goes about subscribing or even viewing content from other “packages”. For example, I have an account on lemmy.world, and am using the lemmy mobile app. I’d like to view / subscribe / participate in content from Misskey. Is this possible?

Everything I’ve read suggests it is, given that both lemmy and misskey leverage the same protocol, though I can’t figure out how that works.

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure they interpret the endpoints differently so unless a mastodon post is directly targeted at a community or something, lemmy just drops it. That’s why I still run a dedicated mastodon and lemmy instance. Kbin promises best of both worlds but doesn’t seem mature enough for my tastes.

      It isnt posting it directly to the others instance api. Rather the Servers “Bot” requests the others API for updates and “scrapes” it like so
