And it also seems that mastodon can also be “syndicated” to these other communities, and vice versa? Is that true?

Are there limitations to any of this?

Apologies if this is not the perfect place to ask this question. I’m a lost old man. :-)

      Oh nice! How are you able to pull up mastodon users on Lemmy? I’ve never been able to get the search to work

      EDIT: I found a mastodon.online user but don’t have the option to follow. Someone let me in on the secret!

        I don’t know so much about Lemmy. In kbin, you just search for the user address and it will show in the results.

        That doesn’t seem to be the case for Lemmy though and I don’t know if Lemmy has any way to make search work this way, but you can always manually build the user profile URL in Lemmy the way I did: <lemmy_instance>/u/<user address>
