You just did. By @ mentioning a community you created a post. I'm replying to your post from Lemmy. You can follow the community on mastodon just by using the same @ address as you did in your post. You can follow Lemmy users, but they can't follow you.
Are comments visible in mastodon? Would mastodon comments show up in Lemmy?

If you follow the OP link you should see our comment chain now. Federation isn't realtime. :)

You have to qualify what instance I'm your @ mention. Clients are just truncating it since we're already here on this instance.
@baronvonj no, like use/handle mastodon instance on lemmy client

You can only browse Lemmy communities through your Mastodon client (look at/follow @[email protected] where you see posts and replies) You need an account on a Lemmy server to be able to see this community from a Lemmy client.
Theyre two different softwares with two different apis, you can't
