I apologize if there’s posts on this already. I’m still new here, and it’s very confusing.

I’ve read through the wikipedia entry, blogs, stack overflow posts, lemmy threads, etc… however in all of them, I feel like everyone glosses over how one goes about subscribing or even viewing content from other “packages”. For example, I have an account on lemmy.world, and am using the lemmy mobile app. I’d like to view / subscribe / participate in content from Misskey. Is this possible?

Everything I’ve read suggests it is, given that both lemmy and misskey leverage the same protocol, though I can’t figure out how that works.

      That’d be nice. I think this is what confused me - I made an account here, and expected to be able to use this account to interact with other packages like Funkwhale. However, it seems this is not the case. Each package requires you to create an account on their platform if you want to interact with their content within their app.

      I don’t believe so, it looks like they use their own API. I would guess because they implement a subset of the subsonic API and it might be hard to juggle both. But there’s no harm in trying and seeing what happens.
