You can find Lemmy posts on Mastodon, yeah, but only if it’s been federated there.

In regards to Lemmy, there’s two means of federation I’m aware of:

• When a user of a Mastodon instance is following a Lemmy community, posts made to it are federated to their instance.
• Any registered user on a Mastodon instance can enter the URL of a Lemmy post in their instance’s search field to actively federate it in

You should then be able to find the post on Mastodon either over the community’s profile, via potential hashtags used in it, or possible the author’s profile if that got federated over too (idk if this happens automatically).

If the post was made by an Mbin user, then there’s also the option to follow the user directly instead of the community the post was made in. Not sure if this also applies to Piefed, but definitely doesn’t for Lemmy.

I have never (and will never) use Threads.

Your instance is federating with threads though, and you seem to have image posts. Maybe Meta managed to figure out that your Facebook and Lemmy accounts are both you and is referring to a Lemmy post of yours federated to Threads?

If they have a brain, and they do have the experience from Threads, they don’t need to scrape Lemmy. They can just set up a shell instance, subscribe to Lemmy communities, and then use federation to get their data for free. That doesn’t use robots.txt at all regardless.

because there are so many cpu and os combinations and you can’t run a application compiled for arm run on x86 cpu or run a application compiled for Linux run on Windows

It’s better to do something than nothing. You don’t need to provide all of those.

Just compile it for your own device and upload that. That alone will reduce the barrier of entry immensely.
