I seem to find most of the stuff I read posted both on Lemmy and Mastodon. What is the connection? What is the difference?

I do understand it's too different platforms (servers, code bases), but what is the intersection between them?

But do all the replies to the Lemmy comm automatically get mirrored as replies in the Mastodon toot as well?

Yes! Here's an example of that:

  1. https://poliversity.it/@memento/114231009981304756
  2. https://feddit.it/post/16044178?scrollToComments=true

#1 was posted in the Mastodon instance poliversity.it. Since it included the string @scienza, it got cross-posted to [email protected], a Lemmy community. Then a Lemmy user commented in #2, and it appears back in #1.
