Mastodon for sure, you can even use mastodon bots from lemmy, and there will be limited compatibilty witth anything else using activity pub.

I don't know who upvoted my deleted comment, but yes, getting remindmebot names right at first try is hard πΆβπ«οΈ
I (on lemmy.world) still see your comment, I think delete sync takes a bit with large instances
Oh, that's slightly troubling ... eheh π
So apparently Peertube works well, in part because the structure of the two platforms map onto each other well. Communities -> Posts -> Comments = Channels -> Videos -> Comments.
I experimented once, and from memory you can definitely subscribe to a peertube channel here. But I don't know my way around peertube so I don't know how well it works.
What can Lemmy federate with?
Yes.
I have summarized here what I have found out so far, but is currently only available in German https://handbuch.rollenspiel.monster/lemmy/communication/
Completely unrelated but I'm surprised how well Firefox Nightly's built-in translations worked here. Despite being made by a few universities, working completely offline, and not having any AI bullshit or Google's infinite money and experience it was still comprehensible enough to understand.
In theory, it should work with all of them, but in practice it's messy and clunky as all of them use ActivityPub in subtly different ways, with their own extensions and quirks.
Also Lemmy versions pre 0.18 (i want to say, unsure) won't work with GoToSocial or Mastodon instances with secure mode enabled. The recent versions should though.
There's also Diaspora, and I don't know if Lemmy can federate with that.
Diaspora doesn't use ActivityPub anymore, right? So probably not.
Diaspora* has never supported ActivityPub and doesnβt intend to.
well that was a long read, was interesting tho, think it's safe to say yes they won't be supporting it period, they just didn't wanna say it.
I've noticed that Lemmy has a hard time federating to non-Lemmy instances. Looking up a user/community on Calckey/Mastodon shows a lot of posts and random things missing.
I noticed this with the blender Peertube instance. Videos are missing.
In theory yes Lemmy should federate with them all of course to be sure if it works on a per instance level you could always try it, As not all mastodon instances seem to work with Lemmy for some reason
Does the mastodon instance need to be up to date for it to work?
