This is shameless self-promotion, but part of a working theory I have that Mastodon users have more to offer Lemmy than your average Reddit user. See my other post about it here: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/2174573
TLDR: Mastodon users are inherently active posters and already understand federation. Also there are MILLIONS of them.
Please consider following if you’d like to get more Lemmy in your Mastodon feed or more Mastodon users in your Lemmy feed!
I don’t care much for the interoperability between Mastodon and Lemmy, but having more users from Mastodon come to Lemmy sounds good to me.

You know how when you’re the first one to subscribe to a community in an instance and you only get the first handful of posts? Imagine that for nearly every post you come across.
Also authorized fetch / secure mode not being completely implemented by Lemmy means some responses might not be making it through here as well.
In addition to instances on both ends of the software gap that may be misconfigured in a way the other can’t make sense of.

The mastodon interface doesn’t show the threading of a conversation, so it’s super easy to get lost as to what’s a reply to what. As a result, a mastodon reply to a thread can often be made at an arbitrary point and without really having a grasp on what else has been said and why, because it’s all just presented in flattened feed.
Yeah, but if interoperability were better between Mastodon and Lemmy, you could just boost/“Retweet” Lemmy posts on Mastodon. Sadly, currently images attached to Lemmy posts are lost. Kbin is better in that regard than Lemmy (but has its own problems).
