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

Yea ... at the moment, you have to create a new post directed at a community for this to work.
