Two different platforms that use the same software and can kind-of sort-of communicate with each other. I can see this post and comment in Mastodon and reply to Lemmy users. But Lemmy cannot see Mastodon posts.
It might not work since they’re different platforms with different APIs. The only way an app might work on both platforms is if the app itself chooses to support both APIs.
That said, there’s a level of interaction between the two since they both use ActivityPub. I.e. on Mastodon I can search for a particular Lemmy user and see their posts.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Please forgive me for my ignorance on the subject, but is it possible to create a Mastodon account add to a Lemmy app, e.g. Memmy?
Or are Lemmy & Mastdon two very different platforms, Like Facebook & Reddit?
