Hi I found out that it is possible to create a thread on a lemmy community using a mastodon account by mentioning the community handle. but the process is quite undocumented and unknown to many of us.
How Can I make a thread with a separate title and post body from an app like tusky?
how to make the community @ mention not appear on the title ?
Are there any propagation problems to be aware of ?
sometimes the post doesn’t show on the community feed, or takes too long to show, or shows from another instance quicker than the one I have posted in. the post might have the correct creation timestamp but fails to show up on the lemmy community promptly.
Wrote a demo of doing this here: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095
There’s a thread there with links to the lemmy post it creates and examples of replies going both ways.
Hope it helps.
So the trick is to write the Title on a separate first line, and after the line break the body follows, neat !
Maybe someone could make a short video on youtube ans share it on mastodon for more people to see, It is a shame to have 2 MILLION monthly active users on mastodon who don’t know about how these platforms interact with each other. more work should be done on that
@feditips@mstdn.social Maybe you could help spread the word on this feature, you have a considerable following on mastodon
cheers!
This is very useful!
Do you know whether one can reply by mastodon to an already existing thread in Lemmy? (In other words, could I have written this in mastodon?)
