@youshouldknow YSK that you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon, and Mastodon users can interact in Lemmy threads. This is a Mastodon account.
Seems like there’s a new wave of Lemmy users, thought they may find that interesting! It can also work with other Fediverse software as well. It’s all interconnectable. It’s not perfect and there’s some quirks due to Lemmy being a forum and Mastodon being a microblog. But you can ping Mastodon users in threads, and they can reply seamlessly.
You should give an explanation on how to do it
@dnub On Mastodon simply tag the community like it’s a user. For example (at)youshouldknow(at)lemmy.world.
On Lemmy you can’t post to Mastodon really but you can mention a Mastodon user and they will get a notification. You can also message them.
Edit: Like I said some weirdness. This reply shows up on Piefed but not Lemmy.
Does this mean lemmy users can’t have the same name as communities? I’d just never noticed.
Actually in Lemmy you can. And yes it can cause issues. Some software handles this but it apparently (used to? Still does?) causes issues with Mastodon.

It does show up on lemmy, but sometimes it takes a while afaik.
