    Yes, but keep in mind hashtags look awful on Lemmy and the first line of text of your toot becomes the post title. A lot of mastodon posts onto Lemmy are really ugly and borderline incomprehensible. So be careful.

      You can always tell when a post gets shared in mastodon.

      Where would I even find Mastodon content, being logged in on Lemmy?

      The instances / servers don’t seem to auto-populate here, so would I need to subscribe to something?

        It doesn’t really work the other direction. Mastodon users can post and comment on Lemmy communities by @ ing the community. There isn’t a way for Lemmy users to browse hashtags or users from Mastodon. Even if you click on the user profile for a mastodon user from Lemmy, it’ll only show you the stuff they’ve posted and commented on Lemmy instances, not the full activity of the account.

      Supposedly the first line is taken as the title and the rest as the description. Of course that won’t work if there is only one line.

    Trust me, I tested this when I first joined Lemmy. And I was blown away when I found out it works.

    The fediverse is fucking awesome.
