Wrote a demo of doing this here: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095
There’s a thread there with links to the lemmy post it creates and examples of replies going both ways.
Hope it helps.

So the trick is to write the Title on a separate first line, and after the line break the body follows, neat !
Maybe someone could make a short video on youtube ans share it on mastodon for more people to see, It is a shame to have 2 MILLION monthly active users on mastodon who don't know about how these platforms interact with each other. more work should be done on that
@[email protected] Maybe you could help spread the word on this feature, you have a considerable following on mastodon
cheers!
This is very useful!
Do you know whether one can reply by mastodon to an already existing thread in Lemmy? (In other words, could I have written this in mastodon?)

You should be able to, yes, just as I am here.
Copy the link to the lemmy post/comment, and search for it in the mastodon interface. It should get fetched and come up. Then you can just reply (and like) as you normally would.
Beyond that you can follow lemmy communities and users normally. Following communities might flood your timeline as comments as well as posts will go in there.
