Yes but here's my issue. I don't like the other fediverse apps I don't like the fediverse in general. Why? Because it's set up like Twitter and I don't like Twitter I like Reddit. I like the layout with the upvote and downvote feature and the post shows first while the comments follow. You can only use the Lemmy app with Lemmy instances this is what I mean I can't use Mastodon on a Lemmy app it won't work
I think you're misunderstanding what the fediverse is. The "fediverse" refers to the technology that allows the different instances to communicate. It doesn't specifically refer to Twitter clones or Reddit clones, since there are Facebook, Youtube and Instagram clones on the fediverse as well. You can actually use the Lemmy website to view Mastodon posts and vice versa. People have posted to Lemmy from Mastodon accounts and you can paste a Lemmy comment's URL into Mastodon to view and reply to it like a tweet. The technology behind Mastodon, Lemmy and the other clones is the same, they can all communicate with each other.
