Have you ever wondered how Lemmy and Mastodon federate?

@fediverse Have you ever wondered how Lemmy and Mastodon federate?
Well, I made a few tests and put it all in an easy to read table! Take a look!

Some things may be wrong or missing but if you notice that, tell me and I'll update it!
(Yeah! I'm even posting this from Mastodon! How cool is that?)
This is a neat overview!! I like to federate my posts from microblogs as well, and did some tests.
Here are a few of my notes:
Viewing communities (from Mastodon) - that kind of depends? All communities I follow show up with their posts intact on mastodon (.social), but not when I use a different instance (e.g. mastodon.de) or software (examples: RenPy, Otome Games)
Viewing profiles (from Mastodon) - That also seems to depend on the instance. For example, here's my profile as seen from mastodon.social. Viewing it from my Mastodon account, I can see all of the original posts and replies.
@Berin
Here's how yours look for me.
Notice how it says 0 message on top, but can still see your posts?
Maybe you need to follow someone from the remote instance so they know each other and can federate. That's just a guess.
That could be the case! I do follow my lemmy-account from mastodon, (and the communities I mentioned as well).
