I’ve seen users from mastodon and friendica comment on lemmy posts, but I’ve never seen posts from instances running non lemmy software show up in my feed. Is this a consequence of different software handling federation differently?

    Lemmy only subscribes to other Lemmy instances. Other instances can post here and reply, but any post initially not made to Lemmy won’t show

    I imagine that’s a design choice.

    There are other group implementations out there though, like gup.pe. It would be nice to see Lemmy be able to federate with other group based platforms
