Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites? (lemm.ee)

I've always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I'm just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.

I tried following lemmy communities using mastodon, but it wasn't pretty. everytime someone posts a comment I receive a separate post on tusky, without context (both the original post, or parent comment are missing) and I would need to click each time on a post to go back up the tree, mastoton and its clients need to do some work to improve interoperability with other platforms,

but unfortunaly the only platform Mastodon recognises and is excited about joining is threads. I have never seen them address the existance of other fediverse projects.
