No, you're right. Theoretically, you could even have a single login for multiple Fediverse sites (Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, etc.).
Technically speaking, I believe you could even comment on this thread via Mastodon if you wanted to since both Lemmy and Mastodon use something called the ActivityPub protocol. But the reverse isn't true since Lemmy isn't configured correctly to view Mastodon content.
Wow! That's kinda insane. I don't know if I've ever seen anyone do that. Perhaps it's just invisible to outsiders, because it's that seamlessly integrated?
You would still be able to see if someone commented from a Mastodon instance. Their username would say something like @[email protected].
