Mastodon to Lemmy Federation Test.
@fediverse

Writing this from Mastodon as a Test. Hello!

This is my first time doing this, i didn’t knew that you could do this with Lammy groups until a few hours ago.

Can someone tell me how Lemmy instances handles quotes from Mastodon and PeerTube links and stuff like that? Don’t want to pollute the this group with test messages.

    The best way to post from Mastodon to Lemmy is like this:

    Test post from Mastodon to Lemmy <- 1st line: automatically turned into a title

    @Fediverse <- 2nd line: mentioning the Lemmy community

    Writing this from Mastodon as a Test. Hello! <- Everything below: the post body

    Lemmy automatically turns the first line/paragraph of a Mastodon toot into the title.

      1st line: automatically turned into a title

      Worth pointing out that it takes the first sentence up to the first ‘.’, ‘!’, or ‘?’ And places that as the title. That’s why we’ll see some posts cut off if they start mentioning the U.S. at the beginning and the title just gets cut off at “U.”
