It’s confusing but following that account is subscribing to the Lemmy community, it just shows up in your mastodon feed.

It gets a bit wonky when you view it from the Lemmy instance. Something that I hope that the powers that be fix soon with federation.

@poorlydrawnarsenal do replies made from mastodon show up there?

[-] poorlydrawnarsenal@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yup, so I’m currently replying to you from my Lemmy account.

@poorlydrawnarsenal that's great, thanks. That means I don't have to create a new social media account, yay

[-] poorlydrawnarsenal@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I think federation is really cool. Imagine using your Twitter account to reply to an Instagram post in your feed and your reply shows up on Instagram. It’s just hard to explain federation without using it haha.

@ronsboy67 @poorlydrawnarsenal the only thing I don't think you can do from Mastodon is create a post on Lemmy

[-] ronsboy67@mas.to 2 points 2 years ago

@raumdeuter @poorlydrawnarsenal that's fine. I don't want to creat an account there for the same reason I didn't join @arsenalfc.social on mastodon - so much of my posting has nothing to do with the greatest football club in the history of History, so would be irrelevant😀

You actually can! When you make a post if you tag the account @gunners @lemmy.world (but formatted correctly, I didn’t want to make a post) it will create a post in the community.
