The media was obsessed with comparing this year’s DNC to Chicago 1968. But given the party’s rejection of the Uncommitted movement, Atlantic City 1964, when Democrats refused to seat Fannie Lou Hamer and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, is more apt.

Iran’s theocracy took power through a counter-revolution in the 1980s. The clerics crushed the independent struggle of Iranian workers and peasants who had carried out a popular uprising in 1979. That social revolution had reverberated across the region and the world. The mobilization of working peo...

how do I create a post in Mastodon that can go to a Lemmy community
  • Thanks a lot for your help. You are right about placement of community - I have mine way down in the post, but it is before other non-Lemmy groups.

    One silly error I made when I started testing was that I tried to send the message non-public, so I wouldn't send garbage to Mastodon followers. That didn't work for getting it to Lemmy - I had to have my test post be public before I started seeing them in test lemmy.ml.

    Also, I found that putting "[News]" in front of the title in Mastodon post doesn't carry over well to Lemmy, so I don't do that now.

    Here is my simple prototype:

    Title of news article

    text, text

    URL of article

    hashtags (too many)

    @palestine AT lemmy.ml (but entered correctly there)

    2 more @ mentions to gup.pe groups

    ================

    Thanks again for your posts!
