Oh most definitely, here’s this post on Mastodon:
Still unsure of how to do the reverse though.
Comment on Crosslinking posts from Mastodon -> PieFed or Lemmy
ccunning@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’ve seen a piefed user’s posts show up in my mastodon feed. Near as I can tell, after asking them, it wasn’t intentional on their part, but they used a hashtag in their piefed post that I was subscribed to on mastodon and that was what caused it to get pulled in.
It was especially confusing at first because neither my mastodon client nor my Lemmy/piefed client displayed the hashtag.
I don’t think this answered your question but thought you might find the info useful.

Ok this ‘appears’ to work. Each community is viewable as a group in Mastodon, so you can tag it as you post and this creates a PieFed/Lemmy post.

Now to figure out the final step, how to crosslink posts.
What do you mean with "crosslinking" in this context?
You know how to view a threadiverse post from Mastodon.

My aim was to take an existing Mastodon post and basically repost it somewhere else here on Lemmy, but then have the discussion attached.
For example, John Mastodon makes a post about XYZ, then I crosspost it to the Open Source community, and if you open that post you can see the Mastodon comments and such, and commenting here on Lemmy would add to that conversation.

Lemmy sends out the community name as a hashtag to Mastodon, so this post is tagged #nostupidquestions. The hashtag isn’t visible, but the post shows up in the tag timeline nonetheless.

That’s really helpful to know.
It wasn’t the case in my situation though.
The post was in /c/historyruins@piefed.social and the hashtag I follow is #thailand.
