You can post to Mastodon and tag Lemmy community and the Mastodon post will appear as a Lemmy post.

There are significant limitations to this approach such lack of graceful support for thumbnails, markdown (doesn't work on the Mastodon side) and URLs. I.e. it's only good fat basic text posts (or image only posts).

Yes. This is how the internet was meant to be and how the Fediverse works. I just posted an Owncast lviestream to Lemmy and you could watch the livestream right in Lemmy. SOmeone can comment or like a Peertube video from Mastodon and it reflects on the Peertube video itself. It should all interconnect.

I'd recommend checking out piefed.social as well as what others recommended.

Or better yet, build your own if that's what you're thinking. :-D Always room in the fediverse for more projects imo!

An actual interconnected web? Blasphemy

I know right? Won't someone think of the shareholders? We need those walls and that lock in.

You want a website and software that does Lemmy and Mastodon at the same time? That'd be kbin / mbin.

In part because of the kbin creator's real world struggles, it hasn't really taken off quite as well as Lemmy has, but its successor mbin is in use in a few places. I'm currently on fedia.io which is an mbin instance, for example.

If you mean the ability to post at both at the same time, on the same site, there's mbin.
