I created accounts on Lemmy and Mastodon, thinking to replace both reddit and Twitter, but I’m able to see my Lemmy account and its posts by searching on Mastodon. However I’m not able to log in to the Mastodon app with my Lemmy username.

The apps for Lemmy are still super new and not very reliable- is there any chance of being able to browse and post on Lemmy servers using the Mastodon app instead?

    Thanks! Seems like the official Mastodon app lets you search and follow users on here, as well as comment on posts, but not make posts or follow communities… interesting.

    Edit: actually, looks like you can follow communities. They show up as reblogs/retweets on the original post owned by the user. This opens up some interesting possibilities, if all you want to do is follow specific communities and comment on them.
