The federation between mastodon and lemmy is strange. If a M account wants to follow a L community, they need to follow an automated M account which represents the L community. But if any M post mentions that L community, the post will get boosted by the community's M account, so everybody who follows will get a notification. And I'm not sure if this can be moderated from the L side, because it seems like it never goes through L. Such as - do you see this @opensource ? Does a L mod see this?

@willya I'm actually amazed such interoperability works, it just needs better tools for catching the spam.

It is truly awesome. Kbin/mbin goes a step further and gives you the choice of viewing the way you’d like. Haven’t used them though. My twitter use was very specific and mastodon definitely doesn’t fill that void.
