Hi I found out that it is possible to create a thread on a lemmy community using a mastodon account by mentioning the community handle. but the process is quite undocumented and unknown to many of us.
How Can I make a thread with a separate title and post body from an app like tusky?
how to make the community @ mention not appear on the title ?
Are there any propagation problems to be aware of ?
sometimes the post doesn’t show on the community feed, or takes too long to show, or shows from another instance quicker than the one I have posted in. the post might have the correct creation timestamp but fails to show up on the lemmy community promptly.

You should be able to, yes, just as I am here.
Copy the link to the lemmy post/comment, and search for it in the mastodon interface. It should get fetched and come up. Then you can just reply (and like) as you normally would.
Beyond that you can follow lemmy communities and users normally. Following communities might flood your timeline as comments as well as posts will go in there.

Thanks! Testing this recipe.
