Latest in my personal experiences of "you never know to where or how your #fediverse posts will be federated".

My mastodon post getting a reply from a lemmy user. Mastodon-lemmy integration is not good, so seeing it happen passive was weird.
Instead, what happened here (AFAICT):
- An #mbin "magazine" sucked up my post due to a hashtag (I think)
- Added it (for some unclear reason) as a post to it's equivalent of a community
- Then federated that to #lemmy as such

I’m not a fan of Mastadon/Threads/BlueSky mixing with Lemmy. One is a Twitter-ish service and the other is more like Reddit.

Yea interesting. My personal take is that these boundaries are mostly artificial and come from for-profit big-social platforms building walled gardens.
Personally, for the fediverse, I'd throw away "reddit", "twitter" etc and start again from fundamentals. Links, text, images, comments, replies, threading ... etc.
I also believe the separation between lemmy and mastodon has hurt the fediverse and it'd be a better, nicer and even bigger place if there were decent interop.
