        Lemmy communities appear as users in mastodon. But you can’t follow a lemmy user from mastodon, I don’t think.

        Update: i failed miserably, i tried to search this entry https://mstdn.social/@Argyle13@xarxa.cloud/110615667838401899

        That looks like too much… stuff in the URL.

        It looks like:

        • you are on mastdn.social
        • trying to view the user: @Argyle13@xarxa.cloud
        • whose link would be something like: https://xarxa.cloud/@Argyle13
        • making them: Celia Valdeolmillos
        • the post ID would then, I assume, be: 110615667838401899

        edit: and just to say that using the link above in the way I demonstrated gets that user’s profile brought through.

            I got it to work through the Lemmy web interface before but can’t make it work now. Equally, I can’t get their profile up to follow on Mastodon.

            I don’t know the cause of that but it might be an issue with that instance or federation in general.

            edit and now it works just fine. Keep plugging away.

            Worth noting that, as I posted the link above, the profile now appears below my post.

    You can interact with Lemmy posts from Mastodon but I’m not sure about Mastodon from Lemmy. if you enter your name @DonDino@mujico.org in your Mastodon search bar you will have federated your Lemmy and Mastodon instances and you will be able to view a copy of your Lemmy posts and discussions on Mastodon and other Masto users who are federated with you can see these and boost or reply as well. It’s also helpful to enter the handle of the Lemmy community you’d like to view in the Mastodon search bar ( asklemmy@lemmy.ml for this community specifically ) and you can follow Lemmy discussion for specific communities there and boost them to share to your Mastodon followers.

    Sorry if I misunderstood. Unfortunately I don’t believe the opposite is possible so you won’t be able to see Mastodon posts in your Lemmy feed the way you can see Kbin posts. Maybe someone else has a more useful answer.
