    We don’t have a Mastodon server, do we?

    I joined Mastodon years ago, but the server I joined was always a bit moribund and I sort of lost interest. Wouldn’t be against someone doing a Fedwitter.uk

    (It should not be called Fedwitter.uk under any circumstances)

      I mean, we should be able to interact with mastodon via fedipub, right?

      If we had a separate server, it might be messy, as then there are two sets of accounts.

        You can use Mastodon to interact with Lemmy content and vice versa, but generally speaking the user experience isn’t good. Lots of manually typing URLs and trying to figure out what you’re looking at when you get there.

        In theory you could host a Lemmy and Mastodon server under the same domain (using subdomains, e.g. lemmy.feddit.uk and mastodon.feddit.uk), but they’d be different servers in most ways that matter. I presume they would maintain separate user account databases (without some concerted hacking).
