@vegan I was just amazed that by making this post on Mastodon, it showed up in the Lemmy community too! Hi vegan friends 👋! I was Nume Macaroon on Reddit.

Yes! This is the coolness. And in theory Masto comments should show up on Lemmy threads (haven’t tried yet)

Mastodon however kinda doesn’t know how to handle Lemmy community traffic (yet). For one, it treats all posts and comments as boosts from the community “user”. And they come as a big wall of posts, there’s little to no threading done.

But for a start at demolishing the walled gardens, its pretty good. :)

@nm @vegan Is it possible to post in a Lemmy community from a Mastodon account ?

@nm @vegan (wow that’s a long @)

Is this something that communities need to opt-in to? I wasn’t able to find a few groups to add, but I’m not sure if it’s because they haven’t opted in, or if some servers are just overloaded.

Does the opposite work? Can you use your Lemmy account to follow Mastodon hashtags for instance?
