I’d like to use both, with preferably the same account, but mainly the same android app
mbin is probably the closest to what you want. Its supports both threaded content (lemmy) as well as microblogging (mastodon) Here is a list of servers https://joinmbin.org/servers and interstellar is the mbin app.
Mbin also works pretty well directly using web.
Thanks. Had to make a mbin account as interstellar with lemmy account did not display any comment. Still need to find out how to use mastodon inside of it xD
I think Fedilab should do both:
Last time I checked it was more about mastodon than lemmy
It is, probably. But I did a check before I posted and it did display content from Lemmy. Just pointing out alternatives here.
The problem is that you cannot log into a Lemmy account with it, so if you already started on Lemmy and have an account here it’s not very useful for you.
It’s doable: https://vijayprema.com/using-lemmy-from-my-existing-mastodon/
The Tusky android app let’s me browse lemmy.world communities.
How can I browse mastodon from a lemmy client?
IMO, app developers in general are lacking imagination or ambition over ideas like this. I’ve even suggested it directly to a developer or a popular mastodon app, who was entertaining the idea of making a lemmy app … and they said they couldn’t see how it would work.
