Ok this is where I got confused. I created several mastodon, matrix and lemmy accounts recently just in case and have started to figure out lemmy, mainly here on Beehaw, and subscribed to some communities on other instances.
But then I think I mixed up mastodon and matrix a little. I tested some apps like Elements to setup matrix, but i couldn’t figure out how to connect that to the fediverse.
But I have a trial for Ivory now. Can I set that up as my primary look into both Mastodon in general and wider the Fediverse and Beehaw? How do you connect to Beehaw from a mastodon account or a mastodon app?
@zark yeah, Matrix is a federated protocol, but it’s separate from the Fediverse.
and honestly, using Lemmy with a Mastodon account isn’t a great experience currently. you can search for Lemmy communities on Mastodon and they’ll show up as accounts that you can follow (for example, you can search for @technology), but they’ll boost all the comments, not just posts, from that community to your Mastodon feed, so all you get is a huge mess. hopefully it gets refined in the future.
