I’m fighting a slight cold, but other than that - today looks like its going to be a great day (could use a little less heat outside though).
Does Lemmy and Mastodon (and also Friendica, or Peer-Tube, et al) interact at all? I know they are both on the Fediverse, but I don’t exactly know what that enables. Can I post here with a Mastodon account, or post on a Mastodon server with my Lemmy account? Does both being on the Fediverse just allow cross-following, or something more?
Lemmy and mastodon can interact. Can follow lemmy communities from mastodon and comment on Lemmy posts via mastodon. I’ve never tried it the other way around.
Yup, what seahorse said.
From a Mastodon (or similar) account, you can:

Interesting. This will take me a bit to wrap my head around haha
So if I understand this correctly, if I have a Lemmy account do I also need to create a separate Mastodon account if I want to join Mastodon?
Yes you would need to sign up for a Mastodon account if you wanted to use it. Right now most of the functionality with mastodon is one-way (they can comment on Lemmy posts, but we can’t comment on their posts, unless they post it to a Lemmy community).
Yeah, accounts on the Fediverse aren’t universal. A mastodon account is not the same as a Lemmy account. They’re interoperable though.
