This place is pretty neat and I’d like to see it become more active. If there’s enough demand for a community about a topic I know a fair bit about, I might just start it, or at least hope to encourage others to do the same :)
Well things like Piefed are built using a different language. But it is also a article aggregation platform. But being that it is on activitypub it should bridge and be connected. Meaning someone on Piefed will see this comment thread, respond, and never have to create an account outside their instance from their applications. We will also see their posts. As more social media platforms rise and are connected through activitypub, the user base of Lemmy doesn’t necessarily have to grow, as the content may grow through sheer connectivity.
I believe that may be what they meant.
Mastodon I think you may be able to see through Lemmy, I just can’t remember how

If Fedibridge becomes more active, it could help fuel more users and the rest will follow
By FediBridge, do you mean connecting different parts of the fediverse? Could you explain how it’s done?
No i mean this community
https://piefed.social/c/fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Its goal is to spread the word about the Fediverse

Yep you can see Mastodon to Lemmy and back again. Piefed goes a step further and pull comments from both platforms.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. How do you connect, for example, Piefed and Lemmy?
It happens natively on the backend through activitypub. So for insurance, I logged into Piefed, and made this response from there for show.
Posted from piefed
Which like email (which is the “og” federation) you can see both responses, and see the @ will show my response came from outside
-posred from lemmy
Ah, I see now. Thanks for the demonstration :)
Anytime. It was either that or go try to chase down where 2 of the chickens went to in the woods… Figure I’ll just let them turn up when it gets dark
