Both!
I like that #lemmy is federated (like this mastodon account I'm commenting from) and that it's a #reddit alternative.
Can you elaborate on how you came across this post? I'm having a hard time understanding the federation.
Are you following asklemmy@lemmy.ml?
@butter
I just recently learned you could cross-post. I don't have a lemmy account so I just copy/pasted the URL from lemmy to mastodon's search so I can comment/upvote. looks like you can follow specific lemmy communities tho! Search for asklemmy@lemmy.ml on your mastodon instance and click the "+" to follow.
That's amazing. I can't wait to be able to follow mastodon from Lemmy. Afaik, you can't yet
@butter you can follow lemmy from mastodon. Interacting seems more challenging.
