Will lemmy users be able to interact with Mastodon users in future and is there a roadmap for lemmy?
They already can, outside of lemmy users not being able to follow mastodon users, since we're a link-aggregator, not a micro-blogging platform.
Isn't there already some interop between Mastodon and Lemmy? I've seen Mastodon users comment on my Lemmy posts. Maybe Mastodon posts that aren't replies don't appear in Lemmy.
They speak the same protocol, but afaik Lemmy doesn't really have a concept of following Posts from a user instead of Posts to a community, so you won't see Mastodon posts on Lemmy.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the details.
