Kinda sorta.
The specific mastadon instance I’m on (mefi.social) does show the existence of lemmy communities and users, but it doesn’t import their posts or replies. mastodon.social seems and some other larger implementations seem to work fine though. I’m not sure if this is a configuration issue or what.

Information only gets sent to an instance if someone is following whatever created it.
If you follow a community as if it’s a user the posts will federate to your instance.

I did try that (following the community), but the mastodon account has been stuck in “awaiting approval” status. I run the Lemmy community that I’m trying to follow with my Mastodon account, but I don’t see how or where to approve these follow requests.
Are those requests gated by the mastodon admin perhaps?

Sometimes Lemmy doesn’t send a response saying that the follow worked

If the mastodon instance never receives acknowledgement that the follow-request was approved, it’s probably not going to start fetching those messages. I’ve tried un-following and re-following; it still doesn’t work.
As I said intially, I think that qualifies the integration as only kinda-sorta working.

I’m having the same problem. There was a bug for this (which was closed) github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4341
It may have been re-opened, but I haven’t been able to find it after a quick search.
