The federation between mastodon and lemmy is strange. If a M account wants to follow a L community, they need to follow an automated M account which represents the L community. But if any M post mentions that L community, the post will get boosted by the community’s M account, so everybody who follows will get a notification. And I’m not sure if this can be moderated from the L side, because it seems like it never goes through L. Such as - do you see this @opensource ? Does a L mod see this?

    @nar@maly.io @nar@lemmy.ml And this is how it looks on the mastodon side, for anyone wondering: https://mstdn.io/@chebra/111950837765992663

    I think the federation sometimes takes a couple of minutes, I saw this lemmy thread through two lemmy instances, and they showed different comments. Eventually it should synchronize though. And mastodon posts older than a week usually aren’t shown through other than the poster’s main instance.
