    I’m seeing posts from Lemmy show up on Mastodon. Does this mean there’s a way to link these accounts so that, for example, my post in the SotD thread shows up as a post on Mastodon?

      Exactly. Lemmy and Mastodon all operate under the activitypub protocol, so they can see each other’s content, but display it in different ways.

      On Mastodon, check out @wetshaving@sub.WetShaving.social. You’ll see it’s a Mastodon feed of all the posts to that Lemmy community. You can also check out a specific user, so @souleater7173@sub.WetShaving.social will be all your Lemmy posts.

      The thing is that they don’t play nice together. So yesterday I tried tagging one of the Lemmy communities’ Mastodon account in a Mastodon post, and it created a post on Lemmy that was the text of my Mastodon post.

      So not perfect, but it is another way to watch what’s going on.
