Can I post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account? (lemmy.world)

Still figuring out the fediverse, but I know that Mastodon users can (in an oblique way) post to Lemmy. Is there a way to have a Lemmy account and post to a Mastodon instance/section/thingie?

I wanted to respond to something on https://front-end.social/local but I'm trying to avoid creating more social media accounts I won't use.

Thanks!

Couldn’t agree more. There may be useful browser extensions by now? I haven’t delved into that space.

But yep, I’ve said the same thing elsewhere.

If I’m grumpy, I say “the fediverse doesn’t exist (yet)”, because up until now it’s been dominated by mastodon and one simple paradigm. When the user can easily exist on multiple platforms, then it’s a fediverse.
