I know it’s theoretically possible to follow a Lemmy community from Mastodon, but what format does the community address need to be? I’d like to streamline and not juggle two apps if possible.

has anybody been able to do the opposite & subscribe to a mastodon user from lemmy? i’ve tried to put
beehaw.org/c/user@instance.urlinto the url bar but it doesn’t work, neither does putting the full url into searchLemmy purposely doesn’t allow that; it’s one-way with no intentions of changing.
Kbin allows it, though. Kbin merges Lemmy and Mastodon so you can easily flip between one or the other. You can follow Lemmy communities and Mastodon users, and you can be followed by Mastodon users. It’s one reason why I switched.
https://fedia.io is the currently-recommended instance right now; should still be open sign-ups. Check your email for confirmation if you register; it tends to go to spam.
That’s a shame. Kbin seems to have a very Apple approach to its UI, dumbing things down and making it hard to find stuff. I like Lemmy’s UI, but would like to be part of the fediverse and not just… the Lemmyverse.
Kbin is barely a prototype, so I wouldn’t say it has a real approach to the UI. It’s about to go through a lot of change as contributors begin working on a more thoughtfully designed UI. Many basics are not even implemented in its current state, so expect it to change a lot. Also third-party apps will start showing up once an API is added.
That is, check on it again in a few weeks.
