Congratulations on the NLnet grant! I'm one of the 'silent' contingent on Reddit - frequently reads, but never posts. It is possible to use Mastodon or another ActivityPub application to interact with Lemmy (and vice-versa) to some extent, which will hopefully allow the two types of social networks to help each other grow.

Would it be viable to add a setting for your own Fediverse account so that you could click on the communities to redirect them to your own server? For instance, if I search for /r/switzerland, there would be a button by the Fediverser suggestion of [e-mail] to open it on my own Fediverse server - like the 'Take me home' button on the Mastodon web client.

Thanks! Something like what you want is in the works, but I'd like first to be able to authenticate Lemmy accounts in a way that does not scare users.

Sounds exciting :) I do want to point out that the way Mastodon does it doesn't require authentication from your home server - it just creates a URL redirect that points to it.
