It’s tricky because Lemmy doesn’t support following people directly.
I think you can @ people on Mastodon/Misskey/Firefish by @user@instance.tld and they will see it, and I assume if you reply to a post or comment made by them (since they can post/comment here) they can interact with it normally.
No idea if using hashtags on Lemmy will populate people’s Mastodon feed with those posts, but I assume… not?
How did the showerthoughts tag result in the lemmy.world instance getting the post? Did all showerthouts communities get it, or is there only 1 community by that name?
On Mastodon, Lemmy communities show up similarly to how a regular Mastodon user does, and can be searched and tagged similarly. So in this case, OP tagged this community specifically rather than any others with the same name.
I believe if you try and tag multiple it only posts to the first community mentioned in your toot, but don’t quote me on that one!
You can also accidentally post to a Lemmy community by tagging it in your Mastodon post. Hi from Lemmy!
I wonder if it’s possible to post to Misskey from here. Artists seem to want to flock to there.
@DrQuint@lemmy.world You can’t post from Lemmy->MK, but the other way around should work just like it does on Mastodon.
Just as a test, I am commenting from Iceshrimp, which is a fork of (a fork of an older version of) Misskey.

Yeah I tried the hashtags-in-a-Lemmy-reply thing once for science, they just show up as plain text on Mastodon.
I was wondering why they were explaining Lemmy while on Lemmy 🤣
@TeaHands Oops… hi! With great power, comes great responsibility, I guess.
(I suppose this could technically be a shower thought. It’s sort of on topic…)
I’ll allow it.
