it feels like communicating between dimensional planes

I think it's because both are in the "fediverse" so perhaps that's part of how that works

[โ€“] Mallow@mastodon.world 5 points 4 days ago

I think I understand how this works now

Welcome to the magic of federation! This is how I'm seeing your posts: https://lemmy.ml/post/38812210/22162387

Basically, the Fediverse are lots of different sites that all use the same language (protocol), and some are able to talk to each other. So a Mastodon site (instance) like mastodon.world

  • can talk to another Mastodon instance (like mastodon.art, or techhub.social)
  • can talk to some other twitter-like platforms like Pleroma and Akkoma
  • can talk to instances of some other platforms including Lemmy and Mbin (reddit-like), Pixelfed (Instagram-like), Friendica (Facebook-like) and more
  • I'm not sure but I think you can like, comment and subscribe on PeerTube instances

I haven't kept up-to-date with what's possible and what isn't working yet, so I might have missed something.
