I've spent most of the weekend on Mastodon and Lemmy. Not looked at twitter nearly as much as I normally do. All of my subscribed communities are here, pawb.social and beehaw for now. I love being able to crosspost from Mastodon to Lemmy (can you crosspost to multiple lemmy communities in one masto post?) - bit annoyed that following a community on Mastodon boosts every single comment made in said community. I hope a solution is found for that problem.

I'm following the furry community on yiffit.net using my mastodon account, and I saw a post show up on my mastodon feed. So I opened up the thread in another tab, and I've been faving/unfaving the mastodon post... and the score on Lemmy goes up/down immediately. So yeah, it looks like faves from mastodon are translated into upvotes on Lemmy.
I've also seen likes on my PixelFed notifications come in from Kbin.social users on this post that I sent to Lemmy from there - I'm assuming those were upvotes on their end.

I'm now thinking that some of the upvotes on that thread are actually likes and shares from mastodon. Edit: this might only be the case for new posts.

Indeed!

Somehow, back in 2003-4ish I found the fantasy art gallery Elfwood. Obviously I went to the first gallery, which had Ursula Vernon, Xianjaguar and a few other furries. From there I followed their links to Yerf and Livejournals and found more old school furry artists including Heather Bruton (...responsible for my "I like men now" moment).

Later I found deviantart, then the webcomic twokinds and eventually FA. I only really got involved in 2020, posting on twitter and reddit but never really found a community or friend group until looking into the furry scene on Twitch.

oh nice! I need to do some more blender work myself. This is looking cute!

Aw thanks! ^^

I should be able to! I'm on pawb.social after all. Geez, some of these I swiped from her old furnation page via the wayback machine way back. Edit: Oh no, the spoiler tag doesn't work on Jerboa... well the images are below what's visible when browsing.

Beans!

Hello! Just exploring other instances from pawb.social!

Not sure where my Mastodon post went... As I said, nice to see Huie's art!

Wait I missed one!

Ah Thanks ^^!

animalshapes made my avatar! A commission for me.

No I can't see an image on Lemmy.

I was browsing kbin.social, and decided to check out my lemmy account. Looks like the NSFW filters aren't being sent over or displayed using kbin properly. https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected] <- you can see that my posts suddenly become uncensored after the 14th. But on this lemmy profile they're all flagged as NSFW.
Edit: Think I might hold fire on NSFW posting until I know that glitch is sorted. Sorry to any unsuspecting kbin users.

I remember a viral post on Twitter from someone listing nothing but complaints about Mastodon/federation which was written after the big furry instance, snouts.online, imploded. This was a few years ago. I'll admit it made me skeptical about the fediverse, but after actually trying it out for myself it's not as bad as that thread made out. Might be that that thread is still in the back of people's minds when they consider twit alternatives.

No I don't think so. Just one of their Were-toba pieces. One a day for a month somehow.

Sweet! Sorry to keep sending posts to your test community, but this is fantastic news. I'll note that the gif was converted to an MP4 that doesn't play on the lemmy page. Edit: Huh, I deleted this from my pixelfed account - either it hasn't updated on lemmy yet or lemmy's made a copy of it's own?

Nice.
