    Pretty new to this, but isnt the power of the fediverse that you can use whatever you like and connect to other instances?

    If i want to see mastodon content in pleroma, you can subscribe to the users from Pleroma?

    Like i use KBin to view this, because of the ability to view both Lemmy and Mastodon content. But Ive seen people link to pixelfed users and that works too

      All you said is true if you are browsing through your instance, but if you were browsing another instance’s website and saw a post or if someone sent you a link to a post in an instance you don’t use, then you should figure out a way to see that post through your instance. In Mastodon, you go to search and paste the post link. In Lemmy, you do something similar. Those can be done but are quite tedious. This problem is what FediRedirect aims to make solving it more convenient.
