Mastodon and Lemmy
fedilink

It’s my understanding that Mastodon and Lemmy work together well in the Fediverse. I CAN see my Beehaw account from Mastodon, as well as other user accounts, but have difficulty understanding how I can specially find and follow Beehaw and/or other Lemmy instance content via Mastodon.

The reason for my inquiry is two fold:

  1. Using Beehaw in my browser on iPhone regularly causes Safari to crash. As there’s no viable iOS app for the platform as of yet, this greatly limits my ability to interact with Beehaw.

  2. I’d like to use a single interface for both Mastodon and Lemmy if possible. I’m currently using Ice Cubes and really enjoy it.

Has anyone else figured this out or am I misunderstanding the concept?

It’s as secure as using a 3rd party apps that you didn’t compile yourself. Wefwef is open source and you can host it yourself if you want.

Which is why Lemmy needs OAuth for instances, and working 2FA. Seems like they at least want OAuth.
