Apparently we can federate with Mastadon too and I'd be curious to see how toots.matapacos.dog would show up in a reddit style UI. Not necessarily realistic but worth the experiment imo
We can, I've had Mastodon replies on lemmy.ml, and it seem reply parenting just doesn't work well. Mastodon just kind of has one long thread, not replies to each reply, so Lemmy can't assume which comment a reply is too and just puts it at the top-most level and gives you the @ping. Usable, but not ideal.
At the moment, it is not possible to subscribe to user accounts on Lemmy, only communities. This means it is basically not possible monitor anything taking place on Mastodon from Lemmy because communities don't exist on Mastodon. Mastodon users are able to follow Lemmy users (though not communities), and can reply to posts / comments they make. These replies are visible on Lemmy. From the Mastodon user's perspective, there is no difference between a Lemmy post or a comment though. This may change as things develop.

Wait, but wouldn't it work to make reply tweets show up as comment replies?
I think it puts the burden more on the Mastodon users to figure out than us.
And the meta thing is another curveball around mastadon
