    I’m interested in figuring this out myself. I’ve been using Masto since November, and keep hearing about the interoperability of the Fediverse, but have yet to be able to work out how it actually works in practice. Like, how are you commenting on this from Mastodon, because I just searched for Beehaw from there, and it just brought me to this page and wouldn’t show me anything first.

      @DJDarren Lemmy communities seem to be treated like users on the Mastodon side of things, so you can just input @ username @ domain (minus the spaces) into Mastodon’s search bar and follow them like normal. The posts then get boosted into my feed where I can reply to them like any other Mastodon post. There does seem to be a warm-up period if you happen to be the first person on your Mastodon instance to follow a community, but once that’s done I’ve found the interop to be reliable.

        Does this work the other way around? Can you follow Mastadon users through Lemmy?

          not that i’m aware of currently, no, which is really irritating. it’s apparently in the pipeline but this is an ill-suited time to gain such an influx of people without that, lol

            That’s a shame. I like this interface a lot more than Mastadon. I never really got into twitter.
