What makes Lemmy part of the Fediverse? Can one follow a Lemmy community from say a Mastodon account and receive post updates from the Lemmy Community when someone posts to the community they are following?

Like bridges, in the way they connect services yes. Unlike bridges, they don't need to translate between different protocols - its all ActivityPub.

Lemmy operates on the group standard, Friendica fully supports it. Mastodon don't. I suspect that's related to why you can't see it on some platforms.

Mastodon operates on single user standard, so we can't subscribe to individual users on Lemmy.

Friendica has it right, they support both!

It's all about your preferred interface. I find the topic-centric UI of Lemmy to be the best on the fediverse, and that's why I'm primarily on here even though I have a Friendica account.
