I’ve recently jumped onto masto as well. It is far more effective for networking. Its horrible as a news/current affairs feed.
I find Lemmy and Masto complement each other well.
Piefed is supposed to be one that brings the two forms of presentation (lemmy style and masto style) together but you’d have to ask a piefed person how effective or useful that is.
I’ve tried Pixelfed as well, really nice people there. Lemmy is full of cynical bastards (like me), Masto seems full of really motivated and productive people, but Pixellfed I found only genuinely nice people.
On the downside, i found it a bit limited. I suppose because it doesn’t really revolve around a social centre (lemmy’s all and local feeds) like Lemmy does so I couldn’t really orient myself very easily there. Maybe because its feed based and there was only one person I knew a little about there.
Hah! I was not aware. I’ve been on piefed for a year or so now and never noticed any mastodon integration. I guess that could be both because it doesn’t work, or because it works really well, but… I’m thinking the former is more likely.
For networking mastodon side of fediverse would be better for it. There you can follow, and talk with individuals. Not the hive mind of a community.
Technically you can talk from lemmy to mastodon, but it’s better to make a mastodon account.
Thank you man, let me set up an account.

About piefed, it’s pretty much lemmy but written in python iirc. Maybe you’re thinking about mbin?
Nah, I’s thinking Piefed, but I’ve never tried it so I’ve no idea how successful that part was. Obviously by your comment not very 😆
I don’t really know why mbin isn’t more popular. I tend to forget about it.

Piefed isn’t like Mastodon at all. In fact, it can’t (yet) follow mastodon users. Following other forumverse users is an upcoming big feature.
Imma go ahead and make Masto account too then. See how much I can connect. Thank you for the heads up friend
