Does Lemmy Interoperate with the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

What makes Lemmy part of the Fediverse? Can one follow a Lemmy community from say a Mastodon account and receive post updates from the Lemmy Community when someone posts to the community they are following?

Aah you're going to make me test out a frendica account now :D I've only seen how it works from mastodon, which is limited but usable...

Have never got it working from my pleroma instance, but that just may be my lack of sysadmin skills.

@_ed You should! It has an excess of features - the thread display and post titles are the ones that make it a lot easier to interact with Lemmy, though I'm still not sure I can make link posts; but also recommended users, federation with Diaspora, following RSS feeds, dislikes, quote re-shares, post formatting, and a bunch more.

It's dated in some ways, like the signup process and some clunky aspects of the UI. But it might be better than Mastodon once you get the hang of it.

perhaps those issues could be addressed.

@creatinglake
I hope they will be, with the Fediverse gaining attention that means all the platforms might gain new developers to improve on them.
