Lots of nice integration allowing Mastadon users to access Lemmy content, but I'm waiting for the other direction to work -- I want to access Mastadon from Lemmy! :)

I definitely feel like I'd be more into the whole microblogging scene if I could just do it from over here instead. Lol
Exciting times we're in though, that's for sure!
You could try mbin
I might do that, thanks for the recommendation
So, I tried mbin a little bit. I still like the alexandrite ui a little better. Mbin doesn't display images until you go into the post and then click on them from there. I'd rather just see them when I open the post.
I do like the general design though, it seems pretty clean. It does have me wondering if there are any good frontends available for desktop.
Mbin is probably the way to go at the moment
Fair enough. I'm also lazy and don't want to have to migrate :)
Id really like to see that happen.
Holy shit, NeoDB looks excellent.
@[email protected] it seems like something that could work with literature.cafe
Interesting! Look's really cool
I was sufficiently impressed that I started [email protected].
It might also interest you @[email protected].
I'm there with ya!
Yes, I'm excited too.
NeoDB looks very promising. Any example of how it integrates with Lemmy?
For starters, you should be able to log in with a Lemmy account. I'll be combing the documentation to see what else can be done.
Thanks!
Initial thoughts:
Does import but only from three sources:
import list or archives from some 3rd party sites:
- Goodreads reading list
- Letterboxd watch list
- Douban archive (via Doufen)
This could be an issue:
login with other Fediverse identity and import social graph - supported servers:
- Mastodon/Pleroma/Firefish/GoToSocial/Pixelfed/friendica/Takahē
The login page specifically mentions signing in using Mastodon (although In assume the other named services also work) and returns a 404 if you try to use a Lemmy instance:
https://neodb.social/account/login
So I signed up with my Mastodon account and that went smoothly.
The data page does show that the importing is only from the named sources.
Conclusion:
It's a very nice looking service and should prove very useful.
For our purposes here it would need Lemmy integration but that's not insurmountable, it's written in Python so there should be plenty of people who could get stuck in an add it.
I'd, personally, want to import my IMDb lists but that's not difficult to fix as other movie sites allow this (I know Trakt do, and the clunky fix is to go via Letterboxd who also appear to do it but I haven't tried there).
So a few issues I'd like to see addressed but neither look too difficult and, as this has only just popped up on our radar, I am sure there are people thinking along the same lines (and many others, as this has huge potential).
Take this book for example

Ideally you should be able to use your Lemmy account to leave a comment and/or review.
Just tried, but I guess they mostly do Mastodon at the moment
