You have misread their comment and understood it backwards. AP’s saying people on Mastodon are engaging in Lemmy discussions.
There is no way to follow Mastodon users from Lemmy. Lemmy simply does not work that way.
I have heard of the opposite. Mastodon users can see and comment on lemmy posts, but i have yet to discover how to view mastodon post from lemmy.
If it is indeed possible can you or anyone elaborate how to?

Hrmmm... at a (strong) guess, PieFed does. You can follow anything, like a community, post, comment (even ones you do not own), or a user account. You would get Notifications triggered every time they post something, I believe. Including comments as well as posts, but again just a guess.
It's a great way to follow a low-volume something or other! At higher volumes... it can get a bit much, but at least the tools are available, and you can always wipe all Notifications at once if need be.

The post you’re commenting on was made on a selfhosted instance of akkoma.social, so federation across softwares definitely works.

The mastadon user posting the thing needs to tag the Lenny community and then it will show up like any other post on Lemmy. You wouldn’t even know it’s from Mastodon unless they said so in the post.

You can usually tell it’s from Mastodon because it’s got a couple dozen hashtags scattered throughout the post and a dozen more users and communities tagged.
