The federation between mastodon and lemmy is strange. If a M account wants to follow a L community, they need to follow an automated M account which represents the L community. But if any M post (mstdn.io)

The federation between mastodon and lemmy is strange. If a M account wants to follow a L community, they need to follow an automated M account which represents the L community. But if any M post mentions that L community, the post will get boosted by the community's M account, so everybody who follows will get a notification. And I'm not sure if this can be moderated from the L side, because it seems like it never goes through L. Such as - do you see this @opensource ? Does a L mod see this?

I see it but your subject is just the post contents until it reached a character limit. So it looks like crap.

@willya I'm actually amazed such interoperability works, it just needs better tools for catching the spam.

It is truly awesome. Kbin/mbin goes a step further and gives you the choice of viewing the way you’d like. Haven’t used them though. My twitter use was very specific and mastodon definitely doesn’t fill that void.

The first paragraph of a post sent from Mastodon (or Akkoma, Misskey etc.) to a Lemmy community will appear in Lemmy as a headline. The character limit is 200 characters, only if it is longer will it be cut off. The post itself is displayed in full. However, only one image is federated, for example.
