Wait did I miss something big? Does Lemmy now federate with Mastodon somehow? How does that work?
As far as I know it's always been this way. At least since I joined during the whole reddit fiasco
How do you access Mastodon content in Lemmy?
I didn't fully understand what I was talking about when I replied, and for that I apologize. Now that I know a little bit more, this is basically how it works (I think):
We cannot see posts made directly on Mastodon. However, they can see posts made on Lemmy and even comment on them. We are able to see those comments as normal and without doing anything on our end, but again, that's only as long as they're made under Lemmy posts
