Lemmy uses a feature called "groups" to denote the community a post is in. Mastodon doesn't support groups yet. Once it does, I would think those posts may federate with Lemmy.

My understanding is that the 'all' feed only shows posts that come from accounts followed by people on your instance. You can follow anyone from any federated instance; and when you do, their posts will appear in your personal feed, and also in the 'all' feed for everyone on your instance. People are aren't followed by anyone on your instance won't show up in the 'all' section.

I've believe I've seen something like that stated before, but we're talking *zero* mastodon content showing up in ALL. Which happens to be the same instance as yours, btw, with Lemm.ee being the third largest instance in the Lemmysphere. You'd expect at least a little mastodon content showing up, but there's just nothing.

So far the two resources just don't seem to be mixing, so perhaps what the other person was saying is correct. Right now in order to search mastodon, I'm using this tool.

Thank you for sharing Fediverse Explorer, super useful!

That list shows all instances that your instance is kinda sorta maybe aware of.

For example, if I searched the profile link for someone or some group from a Masto instance and didn't do anything with it, that instance would still get on that list because it asked the Lemmy instance about info on that profile/community.

Oof, pardon this tragically late reply.

So... TBH I don't quite understand what you're saying.

From my POV, I'm envisioning a way where Mastodon content could populate the ALL feed of Fediverse users, for example us lemmings. Do you reckon that's possible?

Note: I already know how to search mastodon content btw, via tools like this
