So I went ahead and created an account on a mastodon instance and copied the url of this post and put it in the search box and found the post on mastodon.
However when I sent a reply nothing seems to have come across is there something I'm missing here? is this not what I'm supposed to use? I've seen that this does work but I've searched and no one actually seems to have documented how it works, or if they did I'm missing it.
So how does Lemmy interact with the fediverse?
I have a few friends who use Mastodon how exactly do I interact with them without having to create a mastodon account?
or am I mistaken and thats not how this whole thing works?
Thank you for setting this up! I've been meaning to investigate Lemmy for a while and its great to see a UK centric server. Hopefully we will use of Lemmy increase now that Reddit has decided to shoot itself in the foot.
