Yea it's really about what people have as the mental model for the platform they are on. It might take time for people to internalize what the network is doing.
Mastodon and Lemmy do mix as it is, but it could be better. Two big areas I've heard are
Lemmy users need the ability to follow mastodon users (kbin has this I believe)
Mastodon users have a hard time following Lemmy communities and seeing posts, because they end up getting a waterfall of every post/comment at once overwhelming their feeds
First part is definitely lemmy but I don't mind it that much tbh. It feels like it should be possible to post on your own profile (not on any community) and then you'd see posts from users you subscribe to just like you see posts from communities. I think reddit actually has this functionality.
The second point sounds more like something mastodon should fix. Like not including every reply in the feed or something, I don't know.
