Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

How do you see the integration of link-aggregation and microblogging? (lemmy.cloudhub.social)

Thinking about the future where Microblogging and link-aggregation sites on the fediverse have grown, how do you see them integrating?

It's a bit one-directional right now since I don't think Lemmy has the concept of following people or #topics outside of Lemmy, but mastodon users can follow Lemmy communities and the posts and comments show up fairly nicely.

Do you think the ability to combine those two domains in one interface (even the same timeline) is useful at all?

I'm envisioning a content creator posting a video on peertube and being posted to one of the link-aggregator instances and people commenting on it via Mastodon and all of the comments being able to reference each other no matter where they were posted. I think that's pretty amazing compared to what we have now where you're conversation is basically stuck where it was started on the traditional services.

You are already able to upvote Lemmy posts from Mastodon. You can also downvote from Friendica and Hubzilla. You can also post to Lemmy from Mastodon etc. by tagging the community account. The only thing to note with Mastodon is that it can't handle headings and therefore the first x characters are the heading. And images are not federated, as far as I know.
