no, there it was the other way round, pay attention

That isn’t steam, it’s smoke. Smoke from the smoked hams we’re having. Mmmm, smoked hams.

Any info what the “insults” consisted of?

Ohne die Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit, um die es im Artikel geht, in irgendeiner Weise zu verteidigen: Artikel 14 GG garantiert Eigentum und Erbrecht und verlangt Entschädigungen bei Enteignungen und das lässt sich sehr wohl so lesen, dass es eine “kapitalistische” Wirtschaftsform verlangt.

Immediate ban seems overkill. If I were a mod, I would ask the user privately to explain why they are doing this, and decide based on the response. This also puts the user on notice that their actions are being noticed and watched, which itself might cause a change.

Lemmy and Mastodon have somewhat different purposes and integration between them is never going to be perfect. :/ Ultimately you’ll always get better results if you post to the platform you mainly want to target; posts sometimes being visible on the other one too is a side effect.

What would probably be useful for purposes like yours is to have some kind of software that allows the creation of arbitrary or near-arbitrary ActivityPub objects with arbitrary audiences which can include one’s followers or any number of groups. I don’t know how feasible this is or whether someone has already done it.

A few months ago I saw a post on a relatively large Lemmy community that had clearly been intended for the author’s Mastodon followers, but they tagged that Lemmy community (it had a name relevant to the content) apparently not knowing this would publish it to Lemmy. As I recall, this got >100 upvotes on Lemmy, but the Lemmy community’s mods deleted that post after a few hours. (Maybe some readers of this saw it too, it was to a “Europe” community and its content was something like “musKKK get the fuck out of EU politics”.)

imagine a society where everyone was a doctor, lawyer or engineer, that wouldn’t work because we need people to do other jobs too

!kde@lemmy.kde.social is a community that gets a lot of posts like that, try looking at that.

They are (probably), just not unilaterally. If the federal government (Congress) passed a bill allowing it, who would be there to stop it? This is how it is in most countries.

Ultimately, “legal” isn’t a very good claim to make on these questions… a secession that is successful will obviously be considered legal by the seceded country.

and if that had succeeded, the UK parliament would probably have consented to Scotland becoming independent. If the national government agrees to secession, it’s always legal.

Lemmy posts that are federated to Mastodon appear there with the community name as a hashtag. You can view your Lemmy profile from your Mastodon instance and see what got federated to that instance and how it appears there.

mentioning a Lemmy community on Mastodon causes the Mastodon post to appear as a new Lemmy thread on that community AFAIK

the enemy is both weak and strong

Kann bestätigen, bin Österreicher und die Existenz des Deutschlandtickets war definitiv ein Faktor dafür, dass ich in den letzten paar Jahren viel durch Deutschland gereist bin und nicht irgendwo anders.

There is an open standard for logging into websites with other websites’ credentials, it is called OpenID and long predates ActivityPub (and is independent of it).

Your specific problem is solved, but just for people reading this thread who may be confused about some concepts:

Your instance of Lemmy or Mastodon, whichever it may be, is just one website that serves as a Reddit or Twitter clone respectively. There isn’t a lot of difference between one single instance of Lemmy or Mastodon on the one hand, and Reddit or Twitter on the other. Just like you need to register and log in on Reddit or Twitter if you want to interact there, you need to do the same on any instance of Lemmy or Mastodon you want to interact on.

So what is the concept of federation then? It doesn’t mean you can log into one website with the credentials of another website. All that federation means is that the website downloads some of its data (posts, comments, status updates, whatever) from other websites running the same or compatible software, instead of getting all of it from its own users (like Reddit and Twitter do).
