I still haven't figured out how to get content posted on Mastadon in my Lemmy feed. I'm using Thunder for Android as my client

You can't, unless the Mastodon user tags a community you're subscribe to.

Technically you can, here's this community looks like on Mastodon.

No, they're asking about getting stuff posted on Mastodon to appear on their Lemmy feed. You've got the platforms the wrong way round.

So, you won't see Mastodon content on Lemmy unless a Mastodon user has posted in a group (the generic term for community, subreddits, etc). For example, here's an exchange I had with some Mastodon users. Groups don't always come from Lemmy and as a Lemmy user you can subscribe to more Mastodon centric groups like !histodons@a.gup.pe or even PeerTube channels like !veronicaexplains_channel@tilvids.com. Direct user-to-user microblog style interaction with Mastodon users is not supported, and that's mostly a design choice of the devs. Projects like kbin/mbin seek to bridge the gap and directly support both experiences.

You can subscribe them manually via search.

I follow several Lemmy communities on my Masotodon and Misskey account.

But i wanna do the other way around--i wanna get Mastadon content on my Lemmy client
