Did you know that you can post to a Lemmy community by mentioning it on mastodon or other fediverse software?

    Yes, you can do this from almost anywhere in the Fediverse. As Mastodon does not recognise headings, the first paragraph becomes the heading. This means that it looks better on Lemmy if you put the community tag at the end of the post and start with a content-related introduction.

    I would recommand however not to mention it on the first line of the toot. It breaks the title.

      Sort of, it’s because a lot of microblogging software doesn’t have the same post format with title/post body. The current workaround for microblog to Lemmy and similar is to format it like this:

      first line title

      second or more lines post body

      @communityname@site.name

      #hashtags if desired
