Lemmy is part of the same Fediverse as Mastodon, right? So how do I interact with Mastodon instances from Lemmy?

Most instances aren't set up for it. If you want to federate to both lemmy and madtadon, Kbin IS set up to work with both.

Ah, alright. Might have to check it out. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I might just create a kbin account for this purpose.

Here's an example of posting from Mastodon to Lemmy.

Neat! Can you do it the other way around?

That's the part I don't know. Would need some experimentation.

You can mention Mastodon users, but you can't follow them from Lemmy.

You can follow Lemmy communities and users from Mastodon but I don't think you can do it the other way around. Mastodon does not have communities and Lemmy will not let you follow users as far as I know.

I don't think that's true.

Yes they both use ActivityPub to broadcast interactions to other instances.

the incredible amount of downvotes seems to indicate you are correct.

super thrilled lemmy is continuing this reddit trend.

How so? Atleast on my app, downvotes are disables for Lemmy.world
