You can post from Mastodon to Lemmy by mentioning the name of the community in your post using the @ communityName @ serverName.tld format. The first line of your lemmy post becomes the thread title and the reminder becomes the body.
I tried this out on my mastodon account and it worked really well. Honestly, if browsing communities on Mastodon wasn't such a nightmare I wouldn't even need the Lemmy account.
I'm hoping one day we'll be able to follow communities in mastodon using the ! channel @ serverName.tld notation. It could simplify the way people maintain mas groups as well.
You can follow communities not using the double @, but all that turns up in your mastodon feed are boosts.
