#ActivityPub is super cool once you see it in action.

For instance, you can visit the new StarTrek lemmy server here: https://startrek.website/c/startrek. Looks like a reddit sub with posts, threaded comments, upvotes, &c.

OR you can follow the same server on Mastodon ‪@startrek‬.
Every thread and comment shows up as a boosted post.

Cool, right? Now, say you find a comment that you want to reply to. Post through your favorite Mastodon app, and that feeds right back to the thread on the #Lemmy server! 🤯

    What mastodon apps are you using? I use Mac and Apple ecosystem normally and looking for something native.

    keep in mind: Apple actively censors fediverse apps. You are getting an intentionally crippled experience. Like everything else in the apple ecosystem, the fediverse clients are #defectivebydesign

        There’s been many instances of fediverse applications that have tried to get into the apple ecosystem, but have been denied because they won’t censor apple’s political opposition. Generally: the apple ecosystem is a system of oppression, built on intentionally defective by design hardware. Many features are not just missing, but missing because the people who control your device don’t want you to have them, not because of some kind of technical constraint.

      Uh…how? I have not seen any evidence of that. Can you offer a link or a source to this claim? And what is “actively censors” supposed to mean? All apps go through the approval process.

        Then you haven’t been around the fedi long enough. I do not have the threads where this has happened, but the precedent was set around the time mastodon started in 2016. I might have talked about it in my podcast I can’t remember

        And what is “actively censors” supposed to mean?

        As in, if you have things that apple does not approve it will not get approved. This includes censorship of their political opponents.

        All apps go through the approval process.

        Indeed, that’s the problem. Don’t let apple decide what software you run - use alternative platforms that don’t treat you like some kind of prisoner instead.
