I found this blog post useful for explaining how to interact with Lemmy via Mastodon.

(Full disclosure: I made one of the tools)

With the vlemmy situation ongoing, i feel like it would be useful to put this here (i did not make either of these tools)

Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator (LASIM) copies all your subscribed communities and blocks and lets you upload them to another account, in just a few clicks

lemmy-migrate does the same thing but without a GUI and support for uploading your backup to multiple accounts at once

The app has an amazing experience so far, because it feels like I'm just using Apollo, heaps of baked in features that no other app has so far. It's a web app so installation is pretty forward. Much love to the Devs!

(Side note: please change the name to something better. I recommend the name Voyager to keep up with the theme)

Installation:

https://wefwef.app/settings/install

Update:

Having issues? It's to do with rate limitations, this should be resolved soon but right now you can Use:

https://w.opnxng.com/settings/install

Here's the Dev's notes on that:

Cool stuff to try! cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1560729

I just created awesome-lemmy based on the well-known awesome lists.

There is already a awesome-lemmy-instances which is specialized in Lemmy instances but no general list that's why I created one.

It's forked from awesome-scala which has a very neat python script to easily add new projects so it should be quite easy to contribute, feel free to add tools, apps and websites linked to lemmy!

Every now and then I check on the communities, to see if a new one is created that might be of my interest.

Currently it's impossible for me to subscribe to anyone, once you get into the community, the button doesn't show up, just the legend saying subscribe, but it's useless.

I'm logged in, and it seems I can post...

Edit: It seems I can subscribe from the list of communities, out of the communities themselves... It's from withing that I can't subscribe.

Edit 2: A bug was filed already, 0.18 seems to have broken the "Subscribe" button. And a workaround of clicking on any conversation on the community makes the button show up again, within the conversation.

Fun times! Potentially explains any kbin federation issues.

Apparently, since the 0.18.0 upgrade, Lemmy doesn't have any outbound federation with non-Lemmy instances anymore.

Searching for communities, subscribing to communities and reading posts from communities on Lemmy 0.18.0 instances from at least Mastodon 4.1.0 and Hubzilla 8.4.2 no longer works. Doing the same with communities on the same instances running Lemmy 0.17.x from the same Mastodon or Hubzilla instances running the same versions still used to work.

Affected Lemmy instances include sh.itjust.works and lemmy.ca.

See also my bug report.

What is Lemmy? Lemmy is link aggregator software that exists in the fediverse, meaning it connects with other “ActivityPub” software like Mastodon and other Lemmy instances. Basically, you can follow and interact with communities here on Mimic, on any other Lemmy instance, or even from your Mastodon account!

What is Mimiclem.me? Mimic is a general-purpose instance of Lemmy—a self-hostable, decentralized alternative to Reddit and other link aggregators—hosted by myself.
