Can I post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account? (lemmy.world)

Still figuring out the fediverse, but I know that Mastodon users can (in an oblique way) post to Lemmy. Is there a way to have a Lemmy account and post to a Mastodon instance/section/thingie?

I wanted to respond to something on https://front-end.social/local but I'm trying to avoid creating more social media accounts I won't use.

Thanks!

Thing is, as I understand, on kbin, you don’t really get a feed of the people you follow like on mastodon.

There's no dedicated follow feed, yeah, but I noticed posts and threads of followed accounts showing up in my subscribed feed, even though they were made in a community I'm not subscribed to. So I think the follow and subscribed feeds are probably just merged together currently, or rather "following" a user is being treated as just a flavor synonym for subscribing to a user.
