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.

In the Mastodon web interface, you can take the URL of the Lemmy community and paste it into the search bar. After you press Enter, the community should show up, and you should be able to follow it.

for anyone following lemmy from mastodon, is there any way to sort posts by top/hot?

I tried to look up lemmy communities but the feed in mastodon was basically a chronological dump and not optimal

ideally there would be a client that can do chronological feeds AND the reddit-esque post view where items are ranked somehow

I guess kbin.social is the closest thing but I don’t really like their overall interface and it keeps going down or is super slow

has anybody been able to do the opposite & subscribe to a mastodon user from lemmy? i've tried to put beehaw.org/c/[email protected] into the url bar but it doesn't work, neither does putting the full url into search

kbin has that feature but Lemmy does not

As far as I know, Lemmy doesn't have a way of following anyone else on the Fediverse, but you can certainly follow Lemmy users from Mastodon.

id@server For community of ska: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/ska it would be [email protected] the id to use in the search field.

A lot of communities from other instances either show 404 or are empty when browsing to them from kbin but on the other instance, they have content. Is this just technical issues while everything gets ramped up and connected?
