@nutomic That last question was me trying to get my head around how this works.

Will each page have a username, in the same way each Lemmy group has a username, which can be followed from Mastodon?

If you follow that username from Mastodon, will you see a series of posts? If so, will they contain page edits or something else?

What happens if you tag that account in a post from Mastodon? Or reply to one of those posts?

The readme has some basic description how the federation works. Viewing articles from other platforms should be easy to get working. Edits from other platforms would also be possible, but would require changes so that they can generate diffs and resolve conflicts. So not exactly easy.
