@Squiglet just the power of the fediverse, I guess. Also posting this reply from mastodon.
To post from Mastodont to lemmy you just need to use "@" followed by community name?
@Squiglet @Xylight Pretty much, although you’ll want to differentiate between @[email protected] and other instances (i.e. @[email protected])
Interesting that I can reply to you without "@". Forgive my ignorance, I never used Twitter or Mastodon.
@Squiglet Neither have I until now😂. Was a redditor for 10 years until the API change and never could get into Twitter.
I’m assuming the @ from Mastodon is just because it’s the default way for it to display in posts. Lemmy uses the @ for replies but doesn’t display it in the comment.

It's so nice to see people excited about this! It feels like forever since something has come along that shook things up (in a good way).
Congrats!
I see you from toast.ooo
hello from Lemmy!
I saw some items posted on the No Man's Sky community that did this. Has me really excited for cross platform support
It works.. I can see your post.
It is indeed amazing! Hello from lemmy.world o/
Cool Would love to hear the method since it apparently worked
Whadyaknow!?! The new FidoNet works!
Hello from my phone.
Hello from the other siiiiide
👋 hi from thelemmy.club
hello hello :3
Wizardry!
I think we can say it is a success!
@Xylight @fediverse I saw your post on VLemmy but replying using my mas.to account to see what happens.
OP here, why tf did this get so many upvotes
So is fediverse basically a bunch of servers, and Lemmy and Mastodon are like, different interfaces to access those servers? (I'm not sure I understand how fediverse works)
It's like in real life how people talk, to simplify e.g. we're all speaking english here. Where as facebook speaks only facebook, twitter speaks only twitter, and reddit speaks only reddit... these instances all speak ActivityPub.
Think of a banana split. Lemmy is the chocolate ice cream, mastodon is the vanilla, kbin is the strawberry, etc., etc. they are all different flavors. However, they are all in one “dish” that is the Fediverse.
Doesn’t matter what flavor of ice cream you are eating, it’s still ice cream at its base and thus they speak a common language underneath it all.
So in mastodon you need to ping the /c/ with @ to post on it? Like @ufos or something?
I have to say, this is quite neat. Looking forward to seeing where it all goes!
So happy to see this in action! It’s all uphill from here.
Goddamn! I love the fediverse :)
Hello from mander.xyz! We see you!
Interesting, I wonder if communicating with pixelfed works?
