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.

I think it's ok. Sometimes people forget that the first mastodon paragraph becomes the post title and these involuntarily bloated titles look odd.

It also would be great if following a community via Mastodon would mean receiving new posts only instead of comments too, which is annoying at least with active communities. (I mean it would be, I just don't follow them there)

I see lemmy as groups for mastodon. It has the same affordances as a.gup.pe did.
