What is the difference between Lemmy and Mastodon?

I seem to find most of the stuff I read posted both on Lemmy and Mastodon. What is the connection? What is the difference?

I do understand it's too different platforms (servers, code bases), but what is the intersection between them?

Lemmy is more like reddit where you post to communities and Mastodon is more like Twitter where you can do microblogging to your followers

you can mention a Lemmy comm from a Mastodon toot and it’ll create a thread in that Lemmy comm

Thanks! Yes, this is probably the relationship between them I couldn't put my finger on. But do all the replies to the Lemmy comm automatically get mirrored as replies in the Mastodon toot as well?
