Can I use the same domain name for Lemmy and Mastodon? (lemmy.world)

I'd like to self-host Lemmy or kbin and mastodon. I know I could use different subdomain for each, but I'd much rather keep it short. Something tells me, however, that other instances might not be happy about it.

Is it doable?

It looks like there is a way to run Mastodon on subdomain.example.com, while having user ids in user@example.com format. https://github.com/felx/mastodon-documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Serving_a_different_domain.md

But since I have no idea how lemmy addresses users from other instances, this might not work for me.
