Whatever you put after the '@' mention in the first line of your message to a Lemmy community becomes the post title. Anything below it becomes part of the body text.

Finally I understand this.

I'm fairly sure Lemmy image embeds won't be visible in Mastodon since it doesn't have rich text formatting / markdown.

[–] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social 4 points 10 months ago

it's mixed. i see some formatting, but image embeds don't work.

also, i use the lemmy markdown, but it gets escaped when i send it.

@Rentlar @uhrbaan Here is the meme for the Mastodon people:

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Legend! Thanks for bringing the meme over for me.

Hello, we can see it, but there is no title: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/9368861?scrollToComments=true

I see this from Lemmy. Hi. However, the title seems blank.

Greetings from Lemmy, Uhrbaan of Mastodon!

This is what makes the Fediverse so frustrating. Been using it for months, with Kbin, FireFish, Mastodon, Friendica, IceShrimp and Lemmy.

And no, they do not speak to one another, find one another or are able to follow / like / reply to one another as one would think the Fediverse works, based on all the videos and illustrations and introductions to the Fediverse.

The truth: some speak to some, and it rarely works both ways. Mastodon has a lot more that it can do with interacting with Lemmy, than the other way around.

And then there are those that defederate from their own kind / federated social network, splintering the Fediverse even further apart.

Have had to either join new , delete accounts, create with new accounts again, just because the server that was suggested or chosen, have been chosen as a server to defederate with.

Now with many accounts and many networks and servers, been trying to find the best place to just have one space in the Fediverse and be able to communicate and follow and interact with other lovely Fediverse users.

Maybe it’s a misunderstanding from this side, but this has been the experience for almost a year now.

@PlasticPigeon I agree with you, and understand what you are trying to say, you are right. The projects could work in a better integration with one another, but this is hard, and not every project is willing to do so, specially when they are different format of content. The #fediverse works thanks to the collaboration, and free work from many volunteers, so is not that easy. Obviously, I would love if mastodon supported long formatted posts from #kbin and #lemmy, and not just a link to the post, better format from groups/communities/magazines, and I would love to see lemmy supporting following users.

And then there are those that defederate from their own kind / federated social network, splintering the Fediverse even further apart.

Because the #fediverse (or the #socialweb as some folks call it) is open, everyone can create a server, block users they don't want to interact with, and block servers they don't want to interact nor have a copy of their content. Each server has their own rules, you can even create your own, but don't be surprised if other servers block your server, you are still free to say what you want there, and they are free to block you.

This is what makes the Fediverse so frustrating.

For me, this is incredible, this comment was send from #kbin replying to another comment made from #lemmy, and said comment is replying to a post send from #mastodon to a lemmy community. This is mind blowing, you can even comment to some websites out there.

I follow: communities from lemmy, magazines from kbin, mastodon users, pixelfed users, flipboard accounts, firefish users, and users from friendica.

Could it be better? Absolutely, we could learn from other alternatives out there, and upgrading the protocol for better features.

[–] PlasticPigeon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

AHA! You might have give the answer that was needed! Friendica might be the best thing to use, as you are speaking of doing exactly the idea that made this post: interconnectedness and interoperability.

Tested Friendica now and it could reply and follow a Beehaw community and vote on it from Friendica! So perhaps this is the best way to go forwards, will test it now on Lemmy, Kbin, Pixelfed and Peertube as well.

Thanks for this, you solved the case! :-D

Hello from Lemmy! Can you see this or do I need to @ you?

And we see the post, but I don't think it has a title.

Eta: @uhrbaan@mastodon.social?

Edit2: it's a title now!

[–] rah@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Is this a title ?

No, that's part of the post text. The post's title is empty.

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How’d you do this from Mastadon?

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 10 months ago

You tag the Lemmy community

[–] ianovic69@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago

Hello from Feddit.UK, which is my Lemmy instance. So now you can never leave the Fediverse!!!
