    you can go to /instances to see a list of other connected and blocked instances.

    I just did, and noticed a bunch of supposedly-federated mastodon instances, but in reality I’ve never seen them in my ‘all’ stream.

    Are they not supposed to show up there?

      That list shows all instances that your instance is kinda sorta maybe aware of.

      For example, if I searched the profile link for someone or some group from a Masto instance and didn’t do anything with it, that instance would still get on that list because it asked the Lemmy instance about info on that profile/community.

        Oof, pardon this tragically late reply.

        So… TBH I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.

        From my POV, I’m envisioning a way where Mastodon content could populate the ALL feed of Fediverse users, for example us lemmings. Do you reckon that’s possible?

        Note: I already know how to search mastodon content btw, via tools like this

      Lemmy uses a feature called “groups” to denote the community a post is in. Mastodon doesn’t support groups yet. Once it does, I would think those posts may federate with Lemmy.
