What the fuck mstdn social can be used in Lemmy?

@OmegaLemmy you can use mastodon to reply to Lemmy posts, yeah
if you put the url of the post in the mastodon search bar it'll show up as a post that you can reply to

(I should probably get an actual Lemmy account, though - using my mastodon isn't very comfortable)

I tried four different instances before that

But there’s AI hype to propagate.

Ah, alas then
