So I did figure out that yes, #Mastodon can federate #Lemmy and #Kbin content. The problem is that Mastodon doesn’t know what to do with it, so it (the group) looks like a user that boosts all posts and comments.

I found myself browsing the “federated group” @selfhosted over on https://kbin.social, as I think Kbin has a nicer UX for it.

I didn’t really want to create a separate account for group stuff, but that might be what we do in the short term. 🤔

      I’m not sure how Lemmy handles microblogs with linked media, but at least in kbin it’s not possible to post a “thread” from a microblog service. In Lemmy the distinction matters less as they are all presented in the same feed. In kbin I expect microblog integration to get better in the future, but I think there will always be a distinction between “posts” and “threads”.
