How do you do this? I’ve seen others mention it but I’m confused on how you actually do it.

Not just linking to Mastodon, but seeing the Mastodon post from PieFed/Lemmy and being able to cross comment.

    I’ve seen a piefed user’s posts show up in my mastodon feed. Near as I can tell, after asking them, it wasn’t intentional on their part, but they used a hashtag in their piefed post that I was subscribed to on mastodon and that was what caused it to get pulled in.

    It was especially confusing at first because neither my mastodon client nor my Lemmy/piefed client displayed the hashtag.

    I don’t think this answered your question but thought you might find the info useful.

      Lemmy sends out the community name as a hashtag to Mastodon, so this post is tagged #nostupidquestions. The hashtag isn’t visible, but the post shows up in the tag timeline nonetheless.

        Ok this ‘appears’ to work. Each community is viewable as a group in Mastodon, so you can tag it as you post and this creates a PieFed/Lemmy post onto PieFed’s testing community.

        Now to figure out the final step, how to crosslink posts.

          What do you mean with “crosslinking” in this context?

          You know how to view a threadiverse post from Mastodon. You know how to post a Mastodon post to a threadiverse community.

          What else are you looking for?

            My aim was to take an existing Mastodon post and basically repost it somewhere else here on Lemmy, but then have the discussion attached.

            For example, John Mastodon makes a post about XYZ, then I crosspost it to the Open Source community, and if you open that post you can see the Mastodon comments and such, and commenting here on Lemmy would add to that conversation.
