i’ve been playing around with a self hosted lemmy instance for a bout a week so far and loving the whole fediverse concept so far. I’m thinking about also putting up a mastodon instance to see how the micro-blogging is. but i’ve run into some other projects that sound interesting too. so i’m looking at Friendica with the idea of a single feed to cover many sources (mastodon, lemmy, rss, other federated protocols). i haven’t seen it mentioned much or some of the other projects either. are there any downsides to using this approach, instead of a dedicated instances.
@Glamorous9899 I use a personal Friendica instance as my primary method of interacting with Lemmy. I chose Friendica for many of the reasons you mentioned: I can follow Lemmy instances and people on Mastodon. I can also follow RSS feeds. Those 2 things make up most of the content I want to follow. If there’s a particular subreddit I like, but don’t want to browser reddit directly, I can use the subreddit’s built-in RSS as well.
The biggest drawbacks is you don’t always see all of the comment history of posts, and I imagine this has to do with which instances have federated with my Friendica instance.
In addition, as you can see from this post, if I interact with a post directly it uses the fullname I use on Friendica.
Besides that last little hiccup, Friendica is an ideal solution for me. It’s a great “one stop shop” so-to-speak.
Hmm the idea of following lemmy along side rss feeds is compelling. I’m gonna try this out
that seems like its exactly what i’m looking for, guess i know what my project for the weekend is gonna be. thanks! 😀
I use Mastodon with the advanced features turned on and it links to my lemmy subscriptions.
Could you define what advanced options you refer to, or show an example? thank you
¿podrias definir a que opciones de avanzadas refieres, o mostrar un ejemplo? gracias
Kbin works for Lemmy and Mastodon, Friendica’s rss integration seems cool though.
