Is posting from #Mastodon to a #Lemmy community a good idea or will this just confuse everyone?

Comments on Mastodon tag the users in the thread while comments in Lemmy somehow work without this. Comments on Lemmy are for everyone while replies on Mastodon are only shown to followers of the OP.

It's something you can do, but not necessarily something that works well. On the Lemmy side stuff like hashtags and @s tend to look pretty ugly and out of place, and from the Mastodon side the interface really just isn't built to handle and present threaded forum-like conversations well.
