I've heard that lemmy and mastodon instances can be federated so that they can be accessed from each other, but i'm not sure how to use that to access mastodon instances from lemmy. I've tried doing research and found ways to access lemmy instances from mastodon but not the other way. Any help would be appreciated.

That's disappointing. I wanted to just have one account for using both and assumed federation would let me, but that doesn't seem to be the case :(

Like I said, if you want more integration than what Lemmy offers, do consider switching to Mbin instead. It targets both, the threadiverse and the microblogging side of the fediverse.

Besides Mbin, from what I tested, Misskey also has some level of integration between threads and microblogging, further than Mastodon ⇄ Lemmy at least. Also from what I read, apparently Friendica tries to be hybrid like Mbin too.

There are others, yeah. But they're not threadiverse. They're quite different types of social media from Lemmy. Since OP is using Lemmy, that's why I'm recommending Mbin, not one of those.
