I’d like to use both, with preferably the same account, but mainly the same android app
mbin is probably the closest to what you want. Its supports both threaded content (lemmy) as well as microblogging (mastodon) Here is a list of servers https://joinmbin.org/servers and interstellar is the mbin app.
Honourable mention to piefed.social / pyfedi which can do both as well.
However, it’s newer than mbin and I’m not sure about mobile apps working with it.
Thanks. Had to make a mbin account as interstellar with lemmy account did not display any comment. Still need to find out how to use mastodon inside of it xD
Mbin also works pretty well directly using web.
It’s doable: https://vijayprema.com/using-lemmy-from-my-existing-mastodon/
The Tusky android app let’s me browse lemmy.world communities.
Isn’t that what mbin is?
I think Fedilab should do both:
@VintageGenious Think about it this way: an email client can do both Gmail and Hotmail (and Fastmail etc.) because it’s all just email. The same goes for the Fediverse; it’s all just ActivityPub. For example this reply is from a Mastodon app :D
I have personal frustrations about how popular servers like Mastodon and Lemmy hide ActivityPub. I feel progress is stifled. Enough that I wrote my own ActivityPub service (https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html)
Can Lemmy people see this comment?
Yes!
Probably! :) https://old.lemmy.world/post/19168403
To rephrase your question: “did my message get sent to Lemmy servers?”
Because in a sense, your comment isn’t “on” anything; you sent a message to your server (thebrainbin.org) which then sent out a copy to many, many other servers.
