the Mastodon user has to do an @ tag for the community in their toot, so if @[email protected] is in their toot then it’ll show up on that Lemmy community
Oh I’m not against the interoperability, the opposite, I want it to be better.
Comments do work.
Right now it’s really convoluted and I’ve seen people accidentally post to lemmy while thinking they were just pinging a user, when it actually was a community.
And following communities from mastodon is a mess because they obviously then fill the feed with way more posts than a single person would. And they all look like they’re posted by the user/community instead of the actual user that posted them TO that community. Not to mention they don’t see votes and have to no good way to sort community content, except chronologically.
I happily follow users that make things. Artists, video producers, what have you. I don’t want to miss any of their work. That said, not having user profiles wasn’t a big deal on Reddit, you would just create a subreddit with your username and it worked fine.

Yeah, that’s why Reddit was the only platform I ever got into. And now Lemmy.
Obviously a post on Lemmy will look like a Lemmy post, but the interoperability is kinda cursed when you look into how it actually ends up working.
