Ah, neat that it works with mastodon too. I get confused why I need so many different accounts in the fediverse (one for lemmy, one for mastodon, etc.). I would think that since they’re all federated together one single account could comment on all the different platforms. But it seems like you need separate accounts because you need access to separate UIs to interact with each platform.
You can definitely interact with Lemmy from a Mastodon account, I've seen various people demoing it over the last few days and I've followed a couple of smaller communities here so they show up in my Mastodon feed. That said it's not the best interface for reading long posts.

You should be able to; #ActivityPub was designed for that. But the mastodon team decided early on that that kind of interoperability wasn't important to them so they built their own API and the rest of the fediverse has followed to remain compatible
