Well that worked, I can see my reply as a comment on both Lemmy.nz (where I found the thread) and on https://lemmy.eco.br where @P4ulin_Kbana is posting.
Now someone reply, I want to see if this works.

> I’ve heard it’s (currently) impossible to post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account due to how both are differently built, unless you’re referring to seeing a Lemmy discussion from Mastodon
I'm trying to reply to this with a Mastodon account. I'll be interested to see if it appears in the discussion on Lemmy instances, and if replies to it from Lemmy appear in my @mentions here.

> However, the Fediverse was never just about ActivityPub
Correct. As those of us who used GNU social 10 years ago will never tire of telling you, it was coined to describe the OStatus network. Once all the software using OS adopted ActivityPub, it came to describe the AP network, and anything hanging directly off it (eg Diaspora).
> ATProto is part of the Fediverse too
No it isn't, because...
> Fediverse software doesn’t speak it.
Same with XMPP, Matrix, etc
@Hexadecimalkink
> Did peerfed ever figure out the bandwidth issues? Is there a way this can scale?
If this is the PeerFed you meant, I'm guessing the answer to both these questions is 'no';
"This paper has been archived and no longer reflects the author's current thinking."

Although I do find this concept intriguing;
"The system consists of two convertible assets, interest-bearing cash and a paid-in-kind perpetual bond."

@regalia
> I recommend actually looking at what it looks like on the site, it’s extremely different then how it looks on mastodon
Yes, I'm familiar. I've been following Lemmy development for several years, as part of research for fediverse.party. That's the background to my comments about the algorithm determining what appears on a Lemmy front page.
If you're proposing that there's a more complicated algorithm at work, what do you think it is?
@regalia
> Are you replying from Mastodon right now
Yes. Here's the post you just replied to, on the public-facing web page of the Mastodon server I use:
@regalia
> the algo for active/hot favor large communties, so smaller ones tend not to show up on the front page
I presume it's the same as what determines which posts appear on the front page of a Mastodon server; chronological order of posts. That would favour the larger communities, since people post there more often.
The other limiting factor, I presume, is a Lemmy server only knows about the communities its accounts are members of. Larger communities will have members on more servers.
@regalia
> our algo doesn’t do a good job of promoting smaller communities
Lemmy has an algo for that?
@deadsuperhero
> development of a Go-based backend implementation, Dendrite
Also Rust-based homeserver implementations like Construct and Conduit. Both of which are usable, although missing a few nice-to-have added features. Eg Conduit is still working on;
"E2EE emoji comparison over federation (E2EE chat works)... Outgoing read receipts, typing, presence over federation"
@deadsuperhero
> the reference implementation everyone uses by default is known to be bloated and slow, and poor at scaling
This doesn't seem to stop the fediverse growing (*cough* Mastodon *cough*).

"Duckquill has built in support for loading Mastodon comments see (the example on the theme site), given the link where you posted it. But I don’t much care for Mastodon ...
I prefer Lemmy, where you don’t really care about followers, as long as your content is good and posted to right community(ies). So I made my own."

Well, I'm going to reply from a Mastodon account anyway. So there : P
