Why would I vote for someone that thinks my country is a hellhole? He thinks our (and his) country is so bad that the country goes to shit with less than one presidential term following his own? That sounds to me like either he’s the one who did a shit job before or everything he says is bullshit - likely both.

So there’s a couple of thoughts here, and I’ve only experimented a little bit.

You can post directly from your Mastodon account to a community by calling out the community by its address like @fediverse@lemmy.world in your post (toot) (don’t think anything will happen by me using it here). You’ll see the Mastodon post as a community style post in the community like this: https://lemmy.world/post/1222638

You can my click my mas.to profile and see some things in the Lemmy context - not my verified links, but things like my profile picture and background, bio, Cake day, sending me a message.

I don’t know how to interact with Mastodon users viaa Lemmy or Kbin. Like above if I reference my Mastodon user @hemmes@mas.to I don’t believe anything happens.

So OP’s only options are posting a snapshot or, my choice, he can add the Mastodon post link to his Lemmy community post (in the header not the body) and have the same results as any other web link - the Mastodon media would get a thumbnail in the community post listing, with maybe some relevant content preview, etc. While that will deliver a superior viewing experience, that’s not actually communicating with ActivityPub through the Fediverse, it’s simply a web link to the Mastodon instance server’s user’s post.

Edit: Okay, so it looks like mentioning my mas.to handle does indeed alert me (almost instantly in this case), that’s cool!

Yeah, it sounds like her joke was met with a lot of resistance.

Structured AF

Is there a way to link posts in the context of the reader’s instance? Like with !c community links?

Well, that would be shitty.

Not gonna go there at this point though. Like I said, he was a good admin up to this point. Just scary there’s complete radio silence. Like, what the heck happened lol.

I really liked that instance. I like my .one instance. But I don’t mind re-subbing etc. I just want access to the fediverse and prefer solid, but smaller instances, with blocking as a last resort. I’ll be the first to say, I want my downvote button, I’m the type of user that likes to see and compare karma, but none of that matters to the point where all is lost if I have to setup a new user. I’m also the type of user that formats my hard drive once a year to start fresh lol.

Yeah, this is the strange part for me. Pyarra was a very transparent, active admin. I’m sure all he had to do was shut it down, make one post a direct message to admins and one of the other mainstreams would’ve picked it up - hell I would’ve migrated it to my setup in NY if no one else would answer the call.

My point is - say anything, we’re all here to help.

But…

{gestures at OP’s comment}

Yeah, saw this one. Could be many reasons it’s parked. Could’ve been doing maintenance, migration, missed a renewal, etc. Doesn’t mean it’s gone. Any DNS updates may be subject to TTLs as long as an hour or more (not usually but you never know), and that’s from whenever the update to DNS has been committed by the name servers, and then actually begins to propagate to other servers.

Looks like this was setup by @rikudou@lemmings.world - good stuff!

Oh this is rad! Good bot!

If you take away what the people want

You’re gonna have a bad time. ⛷️
