I don't know about Lemmy, but in general there aren't good
bridges between email and the Fediverse.

Zulip has email integration, which is not at all the same as a
bridge: any given channel can have an email address, and
sending to that email address can, potentially, send messages to
the channel -- but they aren't much like other Zulip messages.

Outbound, not so much.

I don't anything about Discourse's email bridging, if any -- my
possibly naive take is that email users are distinctly second
class, and also web users are distinctly second class -- there
really aren't many features compared to a decent email client.
