No, your login only works on one instance, like E-Mail. But you can interact with mastodon. For example, when they use #firefox, we see that as a post in the community firefox. And I believe it’s the other way around too, though I’m not sure.
A hashtag on Mastodon won’t make a post visible to Lemmy users, but tagging a community (with the double-@ format) in a toplevel post will post to that community.
Users are tagged @[email protected], communities are [email protected]
@ChaoticNeutralCzech @asklemmy @[email protected]
That’s true from Lemmy, but not from Mastodon. Mastodon won’t detect [email protected] as a mention.
I’m curious as to how Lemmy handles collisions from external sources. @cat exists as both a user and a community. Since this is a comment, Lemmy shouldn’t post it to the community, but will Lemmy users see a link to the user or the community?
