Hi! Waving back from Lemmy.
Can someone smarter than me please explain how the posts cross over from Mastodon to Lemmy?
I’ve really been trying to figure it out, but I’m coming up blank every time.
IIRC the post format is:
Could you elaborate? This might be the closest I’ve been yet to understanding.
If you make a post and tag @[email protected] it should post the first line as the title.
If you include a link, I think it will post it as a link too.Edit: found the issue, it looks like links aren’t supported but it uses the first part of a post as the title.
Is there a guide or tutorial or just someone with spare time who can explain how and why it works that way?
My understanding is that on mastodon you can see the Lemmy communities sort of like you can see any other profile. Then every post on that is put out like a toot is. Guessing from the @ in the title of this post that if someone @'s the community on mastodon is shows up as a post on this? This could be completely wrong though
I keep seeing this explanation, and, thank you. But, I still don’t get it. I understand the basics, which is what I find everywhere.
What I’m not sure of is HOW to use it. It’s actually kinda driving me crazy because I’m actually putting forth some effort here, but still, no dice.
