I decided to give this a try. I joined Mastodon a few months ago due to Twitter’s fiascos, and I’m having déjà vu. Let’s see if Lemmy can reach critical mass!

        It seems you can use your mastodon account to interact with lemmy but you have to do it from a mastodon server.

        Lemmy communities are represented as users when interacting from a mastodon server. For example, to access the tchnology community on beehaw.orh you would:

        • Go to your mastodon instance of choice

        • Search for a user called @technology@beehaw.org

        • View their feed, subscribe, reply, like, whatever.

        Any replys you make to a post on mastodon will also show up as comments on Lemmy servers.

        I copied most of this post verbatium from /u/WonderfulEstimate176 on Reddit. I didn’t want to link back to Reddit as it’s better for others if you can see the post here instead.-----

          FYI this didn’t work for me, but if I searched instead for !technology@beehaw.org, that worked. In fact typing it just now gave me an autocorrect dropdown so that must be the right syntax.

          I saw the post on reddit too… when I searched lemmy.ml for @technology@beehaw.org this post came up instead. 😂
