    Both, and dozens of other services, work using ActivityPub. Lemmy and Mastodon servers are just different implementations of the activity pub specification, with eg. Lemmy providing explicit downvoting and thread support, while Mastodon just does not show dislikes and treats threads as replies to standalone replies.
