Generator,

Mastodon users can interact with Lemmy, that why some instances have a "chat" community.
But you can interact with any community from Mastodon (Ex @jerboa@lemmy.ml), it will show all posts and comments as reply.

So maybe in the future it's possible, the app is still alpha and many issues with Lemmy need to be fixed, don't see interacting with other networks so soon.

PS: There's an app Fedilab which works with multiple fediverse networks, maybe it will have support sooner for Lemmy and interact with other networks

i made that post using my mastodon account

here is how it is shown in mastodon

comments are from both Lemmy and Mastodon.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Your comment is a Tweet in Mastodon, replying to OPs Tweet

StarManta,

I like how everyone is answering the literal question asked (is it possible? Yes!) and no one is picking up on the extremely obviously implied question of “how?”

(I don’t know how or I’d answer)

OsrsNeedsF2P, (edited )

Mastodon users can see this thread in their app. It appears as a normal Tweet, and all the comments are replies to the Tweet.

You often see Mastodon Tweets when you change the sort from Local to All, but unless you pay attention you don't notice the difference

Lojcs,

Not really. Maybe that's instance dependent but all I see is posts to lemmy communities. I know that mastodon users can post in lemmy communities by tagging the community and it shows up here but how would a tweet with no tags show up?

but how would a tweet with no tags show up

this comment here has no tags

i have no idea to see a random toot that is not connected to any lemmy post. putting the url in the search (like in mastodon) does nothing

Lojcs,

That's an account from lemmygrad, so not a tweet. But I get that reply tweets could show up as comments.

No, i made the post and the comment with my account from mastodon.

Lojcs,

Do you not mean the reply by nephs? Because your reply does have a mention

CompadredeOgum,
@CompadredeOgum@lemmygrad.ml avatar

i mention nephs, but not the instance.

to create a post i MUST mention the instance.

the mention is there because mastodon puts it automatically.

anirbanbiswas,

But can I follow a specific Mastodon account?

@anirbanbiswas I know you can on kbin (and all remote posts that aren't in a magazine go into a "random" magazine)

I'm not sure if you can on lemmy. Reading the documentation, you should be able to paste their URL into the search box, but it's not working for me on your server (although I'm not logged in there so that may be the reason why).

Flax_Vert,

@Rairii @anirbanbiswas Try clicking my profile, this is a Mastodon account

Flax_vert,

I cannot find a way to follow accounts on Jerboa

Flax_vert,

Test

Richardisaguy,

Yes, it is
