How does Lemmy intregrate with the rest of the Fediverse? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

So I've been trying to get myself accustomed to this place and understand whats going on.

To my understanding: -There are Lemmy instances -Instances communicate with each other to create the "Lemmyverse" -There a larger version of this that encapsulates all (or a lot of) services that use ActivityPub called the "Fediverse"

My question is how or if would I interact with said other services from Lemmy? Is that possible? Could I say, see Mastodon or Peertube content from Lemmy? If I can, how? Do I sign up to those sevices with my existing Lemmy account? Can or will I soon be able to interact with everything through one account? Because that seems to me like it should be possible assuming everything and everyone is federated.

How is Lemmy interconnected with the Fediverse right now, and how might it become further connected in the future?

I agree it's better to use Lemmy and Mastodon separately. A tip: You can follow your Lemmy account from Mastodon and easily boost your own posts onto there, which might be a nice way to increase exposure of anything you post.

As an aside; Kbin allows you to boost posts. If you follow a Kbin user from Mastodon you'll see all their boosts (and regular posts, and replies). So, if you follow your own Kbin account from your Mastodon account you'll easily be able to transfer any posts you see to Mastodon - and then boost them to your Mastodon followers.

Nice! That's good to know. I also just checked out a post from @Arotrios@kbin.social with some great info about viewing and following posts from entire instances here. That's pretty mind-blowing.

Thanks for the mention @brainfreeze! I just wanted to add that having explored lemmy and mastodon, I really prefer kbin as a user. I've got access to both read and post in a searchable manner, and it nicely separates the twitter style content from Mastodon into the Microblog section. There's also already a number of 3rd party greasemonkey scripts that enable things like collapsible comments and a floating subscription bar, link courtesy of @Boabab.
