Since both lemmy and Mastodon use the fediverse, is it possible to view comment threads under posts from lemmy in Mastodon? How to find a link that works in both/ is it related to the posts id?

Would these work with #hashtags ?

You can find Lemmy posts on Mastodon, yeah, but only if it's been federated there.

In regards to Lemmy, there's two means of federation I'm aware of:

  • When a user of a Mastodon instance is following a Lemmy community, posts made to it are federated to their instance.
  • Any registered user on a Mastodon instance can enter the URL of a Lemmy post in their instance's search field to actively federate it in

You should then be able to find the post on Mastodon either over the community's profile, via potential hashtags used in it, or possible the author's profile if that got federated over too (idk if this happens automatically).

If the post was made by an Mbin user, then there's also the option to follow the user directly instead of the community the post was made in. Not sure if this also applies to Piefed, but definitely doesn't for Lemmy.
