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. 🤔

    Thanks for doing this experiment! I was really curious if it was technically possible (but not using Mastodon so wasn’t able to test it myself), and now I know 😊

      @roosmaa @selfhosted Ha, I’m happy to have helped answer the question. 😆

      This was supposed to just be a toot to my feed sharing that I figured out how to follow groups from Mastodon. I was not expecting to stumble across how to post to groups using Mastodon too. 😅
