Quick lesson for those who aren’t familiar with it. Baraag.net is a loli friendly instance over at Mastodon. Mastodon is basically to Twitter what Lemmy is to Reddit, a federalized social platform. And since it’s federalized, Mastodon and Lemmy users and instances can interact with each other. Or at least they should be able to.
Usually, when you look up a Lemmy instance of Mastodon it looks like this:
Instead, when I try to look up anything hosted on burggit.moe it looks like this:
After messing around a with different accounts and instances I’ve noticed that the problem seems to only come up with Burggit. While Baraag has defederalized from a couple of instances, we aren’t on that list. Nor did we defederalize them, as they are even listed under Linked Instances:
I’ve also tied to look up my own Lemmy accounts through Mastodon and it doesn’t find me:
All in all there seems to be some connection issues and if anyone knows anything about it please share!
Completely unrelated Edit: It feels a lot easier to make posts that contain images on Lemmy, compared to Reddit
If you go in blind without any favourite artists you can immediately follow, I think you’ll find your artists best by searching hashtags of your interest, then follow those that suit your taste. After that, expand by looking through their followings and their retoots. I managed to grow my followings a lot like this.
