ActivityPub magic?

So you can tag Lemmy communities from Mastodon like @tech and it just makes a new thread on Lemmy?

My imagination is a bit small, so I'm not seeing the immediate utility of this. How do you vote/downvote? How do you subscribe to a community? Those interfaces aren't present on Mastodon.

@bristle @tech I assumed that a masto fav became an upvote, and that Lemmy would lack downvotes. The latter is apparently wrong but there's at least a chance favs work like that.

@dipolecat Can confirm favs count as upvotes – just tried it.

@TerrorBite @bristle @tech it seems that this only works when a masto user favs a lemmy user's comment. When a masto user favs one of my comments in a Lemmy thread, my score doesn't seem to change, and I found a comment from with score 2 (so at least one upvote) which I didn't receive a fav for in my masto interface.

@dipolecat @bristle @tech that's probably because the favourite only federates to the favourited user's instance. There's a bit of a disconnect between how Mastodon federates events and how Lemmy federates them. The design of Lemmy kinda requires more aggressive federation than that Mastodon requires.
