And it also seems that mastodon can also be “syndicated” to these other communities, and vice versa? Is that true?
Are there limitations to any of this?
Apologies if this is not the perfect place to ask this question. I’m a lost old man. :-)

All fediverse software (lemmy, kin, mastodon, etc) implements their own version of ActivityPub in slightly different ways. There are cases where the overlap is enough to cross over (lemmy communities and kbin magazines), and some where it doesn’t work/is wonky (lemmy users can’t follow mastodon users).
There’s a more in depth write up here if you’re curious: https://overengineer.dev/blog/2019/01/13/activitypub-final-thoughts-one-year-later.html
