People from Mastodon can subscribe to Lemmy communities and once Mastodon adds groups later this year the reverse will likely also be possible.
I assume this is because of adhering to ActivityPub standards?
Yes, although the standard is quite loosely defined, so things are not always fully compatible and Lemmy (on purpose) doesn't allow following users like most other Fediverse software.
