Say a friend sent you a lemmy.world link, you want to reply to it but you only have a programming.dev account, so you redirect the link to programming.dev that has your account.
Say a friend sent you a lemmy link, but you only have an account in kbin, so you redirect to kbin (kbin is not implemented yet).
You want to see a post in your own instance’s UI and Theme.
You want to use Pleroma’s UI not Mastodon’s UI and vise versa.
Pretty new to this, but isnt the power of the fediverse that you can use whatever you like and connect to other instances?
If i want to see mastodon content in pleroma, you can subscribe to the users from Pleroma?
Like i use KBin to view this, because of the ability to view both Lemmy and Mastodon content. But Ive seen people link to pixelfed users and that works too
All you said is true if you are browsing through your instance, but if you were browsing another instance’s website and saw a post or if someone sent you a link to a post in an instance you don’t use, then you should figure out a way to see that post through your instance. In Mastodon, you go to search and paste the post link. In Lemmy, you do something similar. Those can be done but are quite tedious. This problem is what FediRedirect aims to make solving it more convenient.
kbin to lemmy is not implemented yet, right? trying to get this over at lemmy.world but nothing is happening. Also I do not understand the user/pass/jwt. If I just want to open say posts on my instance, is it required that I add it?
