Can anybody anywhere in the world 🌍 create a website like lemmy and Mastodon with possibility of creating multiple instances and feed it into the fediverse so that it gets shared into both lemmy and?

  • You can post to Mastodon and tag Lemmy community and the Mastodon post will appear as a Lemmy post.

    There are significant limitations to this approach such lack of graceful support for thumbnails, markdown (doesn't work on the Mastodon side) and URLs. I.e. it's only good fat basic text posts (or image only posts).

  • Now that WordPress has official ActivityPub support: yes, pretty much. Posting to both Mastodon and Lemmy will be a challenge, though, as Lemmy doesn't really offer following individual users.

    Technically, any website can be an ActivityPub server, so you could "trick" Lemmy into thinking your website is a community while "tricking" Mastodon(-likes) into treating it like a normal feed. That's pretty messy, though.

  • If you mean the ability to post at both at the same time, on the same site, there's mbin.
