#ActivityPub is super cool once you see it in action.

For instance, you can visit the new StarTrek lemmy server here: https://startrek.website/c/startrek. Looks like a reddit sub with posts, threaded comments, upvotes, &c.

OR you can follow the same server on Mastodon ‪@startrek‬.
Every thread and comment shows up as a boosted post.

Cool, right? Now, say you find a comment that you want to reply to. Post through your favorite Mastodon app, and that feeds right back to the thread on the #Lemmy server! 🤯

@awilbert @startrek @nfd I’m hoping to set this up similarly for The Expanse. Could you direct me to the right place to learn how?
@IRO I don't know whats involved with setting up a server instance, sorry. But if you get it going, I would 100% sign up for an Expanse community! 🚀
@awilbert @IRO +1 for #TheExpanse. And also I don’t know much about it but possibly Kbin is preferred over Lemmy due to problematic politics of the Lemmy devs.
@alan @awilbert Good to know, thank you! I haven’t seen the info about the Lemmy politics.
@IRO @awilbert It's a bit cryptic, but there's some information here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379

Content warning: Please don't use Lemmy :( Human rights, oppression

@alan @awilbert Thank you very much. I haven’t spoken to anyone who’s used Kbin, do you recommend it?
@IRO @awilbert I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard good recommendations.
And, just a second ago, I created a "magazine" for The Expanse on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/m/TheExpanse @TheExpanse
@alan @awilbert Cool. I’m the moderator in charge of the subreddit, and I’m hoping to find us an alternate space.
@IRO @awilbert Cool, well if you want to use that kbin group, I'm happy to add you as an admin there. Let me know where you end up migrating!
@alan @awilbert Thanks so much, I’d appreciate it! Please do. :)
@IRO @awilbert This also looks useful for understanding how kbin works https://kilioa.org/m/kbinfaqs/t/725
A small FAQ to hopefully help new users to kbin (updated June 13 17:00 GMT) - Kbin FAQs and related - Kilioa Kbin

I wanted to post this here since I want to help as much as I can in my own way to people coming here for the first time. I hope it is useful and helpful! I tried to assume low knowledge with the Fediverse in my responses which I collected here from a different post and assembled into a single article....

@alan @awilbert Woot thanks a million!
@alan @awilbert Welp, I’ve got domains. Guess this is happening! 😂

@alan @IRO I just went with the service where Star Trek went! LOL.

Seriously though, things are moving so fast but I do want to get some straight answers on the lemmy dev situation. I've seen posts in both directions, and everything is *hand wavy* and nonspecific. So I'm not sure what's going on on that front. The lemmy server I signed up with, Beehaw, seems to be proactive on the inclusivity front, and actively block instances.
