@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)
@fediverse
Can Lemmy people see this comment?
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.
