  Mastodon and Lemmy have only limited interoperability. You can’t follow individual users on Lemmy, so most of it is one-way. Mastodon users can post to Lemmy communities by @-ing a specific community, and Lemmy users can then reply as normal and their replies will show up in the Mastodon users feed.

    That’s why I’m always a bit reluctant to have an infographic with Mastodon and Lemmy fully connected. Sure, it’s possible to interact, but it’s not ideal.

    Having another one with Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed servers could be better

    Subscribing to user posts on Lemmy would be a fantastic feature

      Yeah i do agree but sadjy, shere is a reason some of us call it lemmyverse.

      Since Lemmy doesn't really support hashtag, the core of mastodon discoverability, I think switching to a new software is better.

      PieFed plan to support Mastodon this year. They already do it somewhat : you can follow PieFed user and a.gup.pe work well. You can also follow comment or post by setting up an alert.

      Currently, only mbin can do that.

        hashtags don’t work well on the Fediverse, a hashtag doesn’t have an owning instance which means there’s no way to push/pull the content by hashtag

  Simply put your Mastodon profile URL into the search.

  Eg. europe.pub/u/luislavena@mastodon.social
