The federation between mastodon and lemmy is strange. If a M account wants to follow a L community, they need to follow an automated M account which represents the L community. But if any M post mentions that L community, the post will get boosted by the community’s M account, so everybody who follows will get a notification. And I’m not sure if this can be moderated from the L side, because it seems like it never goes through L. Such as - do you see this @opensource ? Does a L mod see this?
It does seem to work – let’s see how a reply to a reply will appear on Mastodon.
