Hi, wanna do experiment across the fediverse? Here is a community dedicated to that: !testfediverse
From my experience with Miskey forks, which behave almost like mastodon, to post from the twittoverse to Lemmy, you need to make sure the community is federated to your instance. To do that, open it like using the same url pattern for a remote user. Example with Sharkey : go to sharkey.world/@firefox.
Then write a note with a mention to the community just like it was a user. Do not mention more than one community because it will post only on one.
The first paragraph will be repeated as you title so avoid mentions and hashtags there.
On !testfediverse we have tutorial on how to do that and also how to post from Lemmy to Mastodon. It is in french but you could use a translator or ask mods for advice.
If people tagged firefox@mozilla.social it wouldn’t happen, but that profile doesn’t exist and they are tagging firefox@lemmy.ml. Presumably some autocomplete?
It’s working as expected, just a poor user experience especially when the Lemmy community gets random posts that are someone’s shower thought.
Honestly, poor user experience describes 99% of all microblogging content we see on Lemmy. Maybe the whole idea of federating structured with basically unstructured content is not that great in the first place.
Not quite. An upvote on Lemmy is a favorite on mastodon. However, all posts on Lemmy look like they are a “boost” by the community when viewing from mastodon.
Even better - you can see the whole thread from both #lemmy and from #Mastodon . However, you only see the conversation, not upvotes/downvotes in mastodon, while you see votes too in Lemmy.
Edit: I tried to not tag @firefox this time to see if my reply showed up on Lemmy. It didn't.
Tagging so the Lemmy thread also shows the reply and pictures.
Edit++: so retroactive tagging doesn't work ☹️...nvm, it just took a bit of time to update!
