Can I boost a Mastodon post to Lemmy? (lemmy.ca)

Let's say for example that I want to share this post https://mas.to/@NunavutBirder/110584158893944201 to !canada@lemmy.ca .

I can of course just create a post with the URL from my lemmy account. But is there a more ...fediverse-ish way of doing it?

I know for example, that in Mastodon, I can make a post and mention @canada@lemmy.ca and that will create a post in !canada@lemmy.ca.

But I guess what I'm saying is that I want to somehow "boost" an existing mastodon post to lemmy. Does that make sense? Is it possible?

It makes sense and is possible within the protocol but its not implemented by any software I know of
