Apparently your mastodon posts show up on Lemmy under the right circumstances (tagging a Lemmy community). 🤞
Edit: if I remove the tagging, will the post magically disappear from Lemmy too?
Edit:
For mastodon users wondering about this, here's the corresponding Lemmy thread: https://lemmy.ml/post/13358920
Mastodon thread for Lemmy users: https://fosstodon.org/@thegreybeardofthetree/112120405122806398
Lemmy user here
I still see the post
@mozilla @firefox
Answer found: it is a reply to the original post!Further, an upvote on #lemmy is a boost on #mastodon.
What's weird is that the boost seems to come from the community it was posted to, not the Lemmy user that upvoted it.
I wonder what happens when there are multiple upvotes ... Multiple boosts by the and community (e.g. @firefox)?
@mozilla @firefox I see multiple upvotes, but only one boost.
Further, the boost only seems to apply to the top post, not to the replies.

If people tagged firefox@mozilla.social it wouldn’t happen, but that profile doesn’t exist and they are tagging firefox@lemmy.ml. Presumably some autocomplete?
It’s working as expected, just a poor user experience especially when the Lemmy community gets random posts that are someone’s shower thought.
Honestly, poor user experience describes 99% of all microblogging content we see on Lemmy. Maybe the whole idea of federating structured with basically unstructured content is not that great in the first place.
Hello there!
Hi, wanna do experiment across the fediverse? Here is a community dedicated to that: !testfediverse@jlai.lu
From my experience with Miskey forks, which behave almost like mastodon, to post from the twittoverse to Lemmy, you need to make sure the community is federated to your instance. To do that, open it like using the same url pattern for a remote user. Example with Sharkey : go to sharkey.world/@firefox@lemmy.ml.
Then write a note with a mention to the community just like it was a user. Do not mention more than one community because it will post only on one.
The first paragraph will be repeated as you title so avoid mentions and hashtags there.
On !testfediverse@jlai.lu we have tutorial on how to do that and also how to post from Lemmy to Mastodon. It is in french but you could use a translator or ask mods for advice.
Have fun with the fediversion!
hello from mbin, which in my mind is sort of half lemmy-like and half mastodon-like.
