As for example, there is a the URL https://woof.tech/@bagelcollie/115701752385786506 in a comment above, which takes me to woof.tech, and I don’t have an account on that instance. I’d like to comment on that post as hayvan@piefed.world, just like I do here. I came to this particular thread via piefed.world mainpage so that part was easy😅
woof.tech is a Mastodon instance (a microblogging app, similar to Bluesky or Twitter), whereas Piefed is a separate thing (content aggregation, like Reddit). They can interact with each other - Mastodon users can tag a Lemmy community in their post to cross-post it to that community on Lemmy, and if they do, they see replies in their Mastodon feed, however I don’t believe it’s possible to comment on a Mastodon post via Lemmy / Piefed (unless they already tagged the community and you’re replying to the Lemmy post.) There’s other software - mbin, for example - that allows direct interaction with both; the framework to allow it is there, it’s just a question of what the specific software you’re using supports.
As KoboldCoterie said, it depends on the platform software. I can speak only for Mbin: here you paste the URL in the search form and it will fetch the post onto the current instance. Then you can interact with it. Maybe this also works for Lemmy or Piefed.
Here are two extracted from @bagelcollie@woof.tech specifically https://woof.tech/@bagelcollie/115701752385786506 and https://woof.tech/@bagelcollie/113738443848112453 .
Ah! These are great!
I’m new to fediverse. How do I participate in them through my own accounts (from feddit.nl or piefed.world)?
So first, welcome to the Fediverse ^^
What do you mean with participate?

Ah thank you. I thought it was Lemmy or similar. Wasn’t familiar with how Mastodon looks like. Now it makes perfect sense 👌

Cool, thank you!
Edit: Piefed has a “retrieve remote post” button but doesn’t work for Mastodon.
