@asklemmy So, is this how I post to a Lemmy group if I’m only on Mastodon and haven’t even made a Lemmy profile?..
Yep. Hello from Lemmy.
…like… whoa man… I feel like I can SEE the Matrix now…
Couple of tips:
- The first line of your post becomes the title of the post over here on Lemmy.
- So maybe avoid putting the lemmy community/group in the first line (it looks weird here). You can put it anywhere.
- Make sure that if you’re “@”-ing others, you put the lemmy group/community first. This is because Lemmy prevents spam by allowing people to only post to one group/community at a time and so only heeds the first. Mastodon, and other platforms don’t do that so you can safely “@” others from other platforms and they’ll get notified.
Also … hi from Lemmy!
But wait, can we see Mastodon from Lemmy?
You are in this thread!
You can’t see all of mastodon from lemmy though. Only when a mastodon user interacts with lemmy.
This can be done in two ways.
- Replying to a lemmy post or comment (they can upvote too)
- Creating a new post to a lemmy community, which is what this post is.
But because mastodon (and microblogging generally as there are other fediverse microblogging performs) is based on following people, and you can’t follow people on lemmy, all of the interpersonal mastodon stuff, though public, is not visible to lemmy.
La finalidad de lemmy no es el toot, sino el hilo y debate que se genera. Es muy obvio que deje de seguir todo lo que publica en mastodon porque no tiene nada que ver con el tema o hilo que se sigue en Lemmy.
