I know it’s theoretically possible to follow a Lemmy community from Mastodon, but what format does the community address need to be? I’d like to streamline and not juggle two apps if possible.

In the Mastodon web interface, you can take the URL of the Lemmy community and paste it into the search bar. After you press Enter, the community should show up, and you should be able to follow it.
Another way to reference the community is using @ notation. For this community, you’d reference @technology@beehaw.org in Mastodon.
I use Ivory to access my Mastodon account, and I’ve found that it doesn’t recognize URLs from Lemmy at all. So, the @ notation works best there. Regardless, the Mastodon web interface handles it all properly.
