I apologize if there’s posts on this already. I’m still new here, and it’s very confusing.

I’ve read through the wikipedia entry, blogs, stack overflow posts, lemmy threads, etc… however in all of them, I feel like everyone glosses over how one goes about subscribing or even viewing content from other “packages”. For example, I have an account on lemmy.world, and am using the lemmy mobile app. I’d like to view / subscribe / participate in content from Misskey. Is this possible?

Everything I’ve read suggests it is, given that both lemmy and misskey leverage the same protocol, though I can’t figure out how that works.

    Ppl have already provided really good information.

    I wanted to add that generally a lot of things work in theory rn for Lemmy and other fediverse entities, but a lot of them are still riddled with bugs and stuff, so your experience might not line up with what is theoretically possible.

    I’d assume in January a lot of the apps are already broadly usable for the most part with some minor bugs still sticking around. So things will definitely improve greatly over the next while. But until then things might not always look like you’d expect them to.

    It’s been compared to email. There are many different clients and ways to send and receive email, and they are all compatible with the core text. It’s not perfect, some places still don’t see others, but the concept is that everyone can share a base communication and connect to each other using different methods and styles.
