mastodon stuff via Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

I'm fairly new to the fediverse, but my understanding is that different platforms are supposed to be able to share content between them. I have always hated most social media and reddit was the only one whose layout I could stand, so my favorite fediverse platform is Lemmy. I do have a mastodon account but if I can get the same content here I'd rather just delete it and use a platform I like. Is that how it works? If so how do I do that/know when I'm doing it?

In the future, please note rule #3 of the !asklemmy@lemmy.ml community: “Not regarding using or support for Lemmy.”

What do you mean? The post is about using Lemmy to view mastodon stuff so I don't have to use anything else. It's not just about using Lemmy, it's about only using Lemmy.

I'd say !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml is the better option, but hey, as long as you got your question answered... :)

But isnt he asking how to use lemmy to also view mastodon posts? That seems fairly in line with the community.

Nobody seems to recall that this community was created as an r/askreddit clone, so now it’s become a Lemmy support* / catch-all community.

*Which is what !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml is for.
