Creatives of whichever fields, whether writers, artists, musicians, meme-makers, developers, film makers, and the like and/or communities, I’m curious to know about some of the people around the fediverse creating some original stuff.

I know of a few over on the Mastodon side, and some communities forming here, but I imagine there are way more I’m unaware of.

    I’m not really a phone person tbh, replying to you now from mobile but that’s rare for me, mostly I just use the phone apps as notification collectors.

    That said, I’ve been terminally online since the turn of the millennium so flitting between various websites and apps and generally being a bit of a “power user” comes naturally.

    I use Mastodon in advanced mode with various columns pinned with my hashtag searches in. Lemmy I stick with the default web UI because certain niche things tend not to work in the alternate frontends and I do a lot of niche stuff 😅

    In terms of posting between the two, I often do post to Lemmy via Mastodon just to get the conversation from both places all happening in one thread. Works well as long as you bear the various quirks in mind, but I hope that’ll be improved over time as well as asking the option to crosspost the other way round (ie Lemmy to Mastodon).

    Would be happy to do a write-up on exactly how that works and what the limitations are if anyone would find it useful!

    Edit: forgot to add, one of my pinned Mastodon columns actually shows posts from some of my fave-but-tiny Lemmy communities, so that way I don’t miss anything.

        I mean we can share stuff easily, just only in one direction for now. It’s still worth doing though, have managed to introduce people from the two platforms and get them chatting that way fairly often. It’s also great for question-type posts, since obviously the more answers the better.

        And as a bonus, being able to follow Lemmy communities on Mastodon (I wouldn’t do it for the big spammy ones but it’s great for smaller communities) means I can just jump in with a reply straight from Mastodon without switching tabs to Lemmy which is nice!

        Think I’m still in the “ok this isn’t perfect but wow it’s clever and I am in childlike amazement” phase haha
