Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Does something like this exist? As far as I can tell, setting something similar up would require:

  • A dedicated Lemmy instance for Mastodon tag-based crossposting (probably, since most existing instances probably don't want to clutter their instance with thousands of script-generated communities)
  • Some kind of form on a site where users who want to follow a Mastodon tag that is not already set up as a Lemmy community could submit the tag they want added, which would automatically set up:
  • A Lemmy community for that tag on the aforementioned instance, and
  • A Mastodon hashtag bot that automatically crossposts all posts with that tag to the linked community

I've always wondered how Lemmy and Mastodon can claim to be part of the same “fediverse” if they can't even share content.

If I open your profile here on Lemmy, I can't see any of your posts.
