It's really nuanced, and I only slightly understand it. I think I can post a link from kbin to a lemmy community, and the keywords will be searchable for mastodon users - which is a primary way people use mastodon.
If you do a text post from lemmy and insert hashtags in the text, I think those hashtags are searchable on mastodon. But, if you do a link post, there's no mechanism to add hashtags.
But this is all an educated guess.
Nah the second example you gave (Lemmy > Mastodon) sadly doesn't work, although I'm hopeful it might one day! Any attempts to add hashtags from the Lemmy side just turn up as plain text on Mastodon. Can you tell I've experimented a lot? ๐
I do enjoy posting from Mastodon to Lemmy though, and presume it would work the same way if I wanted to post to a Kbin magazine too. It's nice to have all the discussion from both platforms all in one thread, rather than posting separately. The trick is just formatting the post so it looks like it belongs on both platforms, which is easier said than done sometimes!
