You can read Lemmy threads in Mastodon clients (although it is messy and gross), but not vice versa. I couldn't tell you the reason why.

It's because the devs just don't want to. Not really sure why, would be good to have that kind of interoperability.

Lemmy client devs? I have used quite a few Lemmy clients, and none of the ones I have tried (at least, the ones that have the best UIs IMO) support it.

For what it's worth, Mastodon clients also seem to have either slick user interfaces or they are packed with features, but usually more of one equates with less of the other. It probably depends on which one the developers want to spend more time on. Since Mastodon (and the wider Fediverse) and Lemmy specifically are a bit different, it seems like Lemmy devs have opted to not handle the idiosyncrasies of something that is not Lemmy specific.

I more so meant Lemmy's Devs allowing Lemmy itself to interoperate with Mastodon and allowing us to see content from mastodon here. I have no doubt that one could create an app that allows users to login to both Lemmy and mastodon accounts to see data from both, it would require special considerations when building the client though since Lemmy itself doesn't allow access to Mastodon's user posted content.
