I agree it's better to use Lemmy and Mastodon separately. A tip: You can follow your Lemmy account from Mastodon and easily boost your own posts onto there, which might be a nice way to increase exposure of anything you post.
As an aside; Kbin allows you to boost posts. If you follow a Kbin user from Mastodon you'll see all their boosts (and regular posts, and replies). So, if you follow your own Kbin account from your Mastodon account you'll easily be able to transfer any posts you see to Mastodon - and then boost them to your Mastodon followers.
Nice! That's good to know. I also just checked out a post from @[email protected] with some great info about viewing and following posts from entire instances here. That's pretty mind-blowing.
Thanks for the mention @brainfreeze! I just wanted to add that having explored lemmy and mastodon, I really prefer kbin as a user. I've got access to both read and post in a searchable manner, and it nicely separates the twitter style content from Mastodon into the Microblog section. There's also already a number of 3rd party greasemonkey scripts that enable things like collapsible comments and a floating subscription bar, link courtesy of @Boabab.
