5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

So can Lemmy users see Mastodon stuff as well? I've tried to look up stuff from Lemmy on my Mastodon instance and it doesn't work, but on my Mastodon server I can see my Lemmy account, but nothing on it.

I think you'll only be able to see your posts, and not your comments. So if you have no posts, you'll have nothing to show mastodon users.

One thing that I think is neat, and others think is a problem, is that you can @ tag any mastodon user with Lemmy and vice versa, and they'll get a ping and be able to respond to it and join the conversation.

Interesting, I'll try it: @dhamster@[email protected]

Edit: Nope, maybe because this is a comment.

You don't need to wrap it in a link, just write it out like normal.

Then again maybe it only works for certain instances.
