Please provide a link in addition to a screenshot when you are referring to a post in the fediverse. You can easily link to a mastodon post from Lemmy since both are federated, and if you do it, your post will magically appear as a response to the original mastodon post.
There is no way the fediverse can reimplement r/place feature by feature. A federated Place would have to be different. It could be a month long project ora even permanent one, probably with a slower update rate.
I like the idea of people seeing different things depending on the server they use and who that server federates with or blocks (lemmy.world/comment/1749093).
But maybe the fediverse should look for its own thing rather than try to imitate.
I wonder what the federated version of r/place would look like. It should not be too hard to create a collaborative pixel board and accept input from anywhere in the fediverse. But we would need to come up with some cool fedi spin. A chessboard, maybe, where every server has a square?
In the future, when the fediverse is more mature, it would be cool to create something.
I see your point, but I really wish we could go back to a more innocent internet, when people make slightly crappy videos as a hobby, rather than overproduced shows as a profession.
They are two separate projects with similar goals (implement a Reddit clone). They both use the activitypub protocol, so they can generally interoperate. Other activitypub based services, such as mastodon, can also interact with either Lemmy or kbin, but in a more limited and clunkier way.
Lemmy was started first so there are more servers and more users, kbin is more recent.
