    If Mastodon got it, wouldn’t any other federated platform get it, including Lemmy?

      It should work, I was more commenting on another missed opportunity to bring the platform name to the mainstream audience.

      Mastodon is more or less well-known nowadays thanks to articles talking about it for years, it would be nice to have the same for Lemmy

      The only way to know for sure is to test. I found I could subscribe to peertube channels using lemmy, but that wasn’t intended and just a happy side effect of the common activitypub protocol.

      I recall seeing new videos and being able to comment but not be able to create new posts that would federate since that wouldn’t make a lot of sense.

      Depends on if they expose Person actors or Group actors. (so, probably not considering it doesn’t make much sense to consider a blog as a Group)

      In theory a blog could xpost to a Lemmy community via mentioning it but I have no idea if Wordpress does mentions like that.

        In WordPress, one blog can have many authors, so it does make sense to consider it a group
