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?

Lemmy implements WebFinger (username@domain lookup) and "a subset of the ActivityPub Protocol, with some extensions" (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/federation/lemmy_protocol.html).

I was able to follow a Lemmy community from Mastodon. (I haven't seen what it looks like yet when posts start coming through.) I was not able to follow Lemmy communities from Epicyon, or Lemmy user accounts from either Mastodon or Epicyon.

Cool, thanks Ваня!

Edit: the screenshot does not appear in Lemmy; I see it in Mastodon and Friendica.

I'm able to follow Lemmy accounts from Mastodon now. (Previously search was hanging, maybe the servers had to establish contact...)

Replying again just to note that the screenshot does not appear in Lemmy - and my edit saying so is not universally propogated (I see it in Friendica but not yet in Mastodon).

As I suppose Lemmy does not support the media attachment: Lemmy users can find the screenshot by navigating to Ваня's post at the linked original page (source) - or by viewing this thread on other non-Lemmy instances via other remote participants here (via the small fediverse icon links).
