This is what makes the Fediverse so frustrating. Been using it for months, with Kbin, FireFish, Mastodon, Friendica, IceShrimp and Lemmy.

And no, they do not speak to one another, find one another or are able to follow / like / reply to one another as one would think the Fediverse works, based on all the videos and illustrations and introductions to the Fediverse.

The truth: some speak to some, and it rarely works both ways. Mastodon has a lot more that it can do with interacting with Lemmy, than the other way around.

And then there are those that defederate from their own kind / federated social network, splintering the Fediverse even further apart.

Have had to either join new , delete accounts, create with new accounts again, just because the server that was suggested or chosen, have been chosen as a server to defederate with.

Now with many accounts and many networks and servers, been trying to find the best place to just have one space in the Fediverse and be able to communicate and follow and interact with other lovely Fediverse users.

Maybe it’s a misunderstanding from this side, but this has been the experience for almost a year now.
