I’ve heard that lemmy and mastodon instances can be federated so that they can be accessed from each other, but i’m not sure how to use that to access mastodon instances from lemmy. I’ve tried doing research and found ways to access lemmy instances from mastodon but not the other way. Any help would be appreciated.
You can only interact with mastodonians if they interact with something on the threadiverse first. If they leave a comment on a lemmy post, you can reply to them, but due to the way they expect federation to work, they will not announce it to the instance hosting the comm you’re in, so if you’re from a different instance than the comm, only people in your own instance will see any replies to your comment coming from mastodon.
