fediverse, decentralized group of social media platforms in which each independent platform can interact freely with any other platform that is part of the group.
Great that they have an article on it, though their formatting the start of each article like a dictionary entry is a bit odd compared to Wikipedia.
If it were a Wikipedia article, it would probably need some copyediting to give it a more encyclopedic tone along with in-line citations.
Lemmy and history, no. On Lemmy you can see comments from Mastodon and posts (toot with a Lemmy community pinged inside. Which is rarely done but happens). But not the toots themselves
Piefed now allows to directly follow accounts (similar to Mastodon, Friendica, etc) and you can start getting the new toots after following an account https://piefed.zip/c/microblogs

Tbh I never understood the Lemmy users can interact with all other platforms that share the same protocol.
It’s not like I can view a Mastodon user’s history on Lemny, right?
