Wait, you can follow Mastadon from Lemmy already? How?
Comment on Lemmy interoperability with other Fediverse projects

I have only observed Lemmy->Mastodon and Mastodon->Lemmy
If I follow a community, in mastodon it will show as boosts and will show Title + link to the original post with all the comments also as boosts. It has some probability of working. Not always. I couldn’t get hashtags to work.
If someone mentions some lemmy community it will get federated into that community but only into first mentioned community. The first line of a microblog will be set as a title. When users write hashtags and mentions first, it will be unreadable. Not all replies will get federated back and forth.

You can federate and respond but not really follow.

Okay, but how.

I just checked. You can respond if someone mentioned the lemmy community and there is a post on lemmy to respond to and that response will be seen on mastodon.

Thank you for the explanation! Follow-up question: if you follow a Lemmy community in Mastodon, do you feel like your feed is filled with messages from that community? Like, does it get noisy fast? (But I’m thinking if they show up as boosts I could simply filter out boosts in my Ivory app)…

You can put Lemmy communities in lists so they don’t spam your home feed. fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodo…

Very similar to a.gup.pe groups but even more disjointed. It also depends if community has thousands of active users or just a dozen.
