Is posting from #Mastodon to a #Lemmy community a good idea or will this just confuse everyone? (muenchen.social)

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.

its a fantastic idea. it allows for someone to stay on the platform of their choice while not being locked out of communicating with other people. if my family likes mastodon and I like lemmy, we can still share things... awesome!!

it was great when Twitter and Facebook had it during the beginning of their rise in the late 2000s, shame they decided locking in users to their platform was a better choice. at least we dont have to be on those platforms anymore 🙂
