I have seen some users commenting on Lemmy using a Mastodon account. I tried to login Lemmy using my Mastodon account (on the web) and it didn’t work, like account not found, maybe it tries to locate the Lemmy instance account.

I have tried to do this on Jerboa, Thunder and Liftoff too and still couldn’t work.

    Ok, so I have logged in Mastodon on the web using my Mastodon account. Then search and found the user @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world but how do I interact with other Lemmy users and topics? On Mastodon web client I can’t see the discussions threads.

    Is there an app that allows this? Where I think this wrongly?

      My understanding is that you will only be able to see new posts from after you follow the user on Mastodon because mastodon doesn’t pull older posts and only pulls posts once you follow the community. I may be wrong though.
