Lemmy and Kbin is more forum-like or reddit-like in its discussion form while Mastodon is more twitter-like or microblogging

While I know that Lemmy can see Kbin and vice versa, does this also extend to Mastodon and Pixelfed?

Can I see Mastodon and Pixelfed content in Lemmy/Kbin ? and the other way around as well ? (see Lemmy and Kbin content through Mastodon or Pixelfed)

I’m curious on how it works (as a layman), because on Mastodon you follow people/users not communities.

    I don’t know all the permutations, but Mastodon profiles can indeed be seen on Lemmy. They get parsed as a community where each Mastodon publication (toots?) are a post.

    Though comments on said posts will only be seen by people using the same Lemmy instance as you, they do not get interpreted by Mastodon.

        Your comment is about following Lemmy communities on Mastodon. Mine is about seeing Mastodon profiles in Lemmy.

            No worries about it - you didn’t even have to delete the reply. Thanks for your explanation too, this way OP gets an answer from both directions Lemmy to Mastodon and Mastodon to Lemmy.
