I follow my own Lemmy account with the address steveklord@slrpnk.net on Mastodon and I believe I’ve followed other users as well so I do believe it’s possible.
Yes you can - I’ve followed my accounts at Lemmy, Pixelfed, Bookwyrm and Peertube from Mastodon and it is definitely pulling in my Lemmy posts (I have yet to post on the other three yet but will do that soon as I am testing out how interconnected everything is). I made a “me” list on Tusky to collect them together:
You can see you can then reply, boost, etc through the Mastodon app of your choice.
As I say, it’s early days and I am still experimenting. My main finding was that it could take a few goes for Mastodon to find the accounts, but it does in the end.
That’s beyond my meager understanding of things I’m afraid. I might have to chalk that up to teething troubles and try again later.
Bear with me while I try something nope, didn’t work
My other suggestion would be to get a Mastodon account. It’s a different beast to Lemmy and my experiments suggest it is better suited to act as a hub for your Fediverse life.
Godspeed you, black emperor!
lemme give it a try
Update: i failed miserably, i tried to search this entry https://mstdn.social/@Argyle13@xarxa.cloud/110615667838401899
Lemmy communities appear as users in mastodon. But you can’t follow a lemmy user from mastodon, I don’t think.

Looks like you’re right. Following a lemmy user in mastodon will show you all of their posts (but not comments).
I do not have a mastodon account

That looks like too much… stuff in the URL.
It looks like:
edit: and just to say that using the link above in the way I demonstrated gets that user’s profile brought through.
Thanks for the URL dissection, still cant make contact with mstd instance
Maybe im out of touch
I got it to work through the Lemmy web interface before but can’t make it work now. Equally, I can’t get their profile up to follow on Mastodon.
I don’t know the cause of that but it might be an issue with that instance or federation in general.
edit and now it works just fine. Keep plugging away.
Worth noting that, as I posted the link above, the profile now appears below my post.

The fediverse is still so young and complex!
But thanks for all your help emperor :)
At least our instances are working as expected
