Now that both #Twitter and #Reddit have been short-sighted enough to burn through the goodwill of many users and communities, I wonder if it's time for distributions like @fedora and @centos - who were latecomers to the #Fediverse - to embrace #Lemmy ?
Let's see if I succeed in posting this to @linux as well - to see if Mastodon<->Lemmy interop works as well as it seems to do with another Lemmy community
The title is borked in Lemmy. It's just a portion of the body text, including link tags which don't work on titles. I think there are some formatting guides out there if you want to continue trying to post to Lemmy via Mastodon.
Edit: there's a Mastodon to Lemmy guide at the bottom of this post
Borked
@fedora @centos @linux that seems to work - similar to how @guppegroups works in that on the Mastodon side posts tagging the community address appear to get boosted, with a difference that you can read it in a Reddit like interface (with good threading 🧵!) if you have a Lemmy account as well.
It also appears that the first post has to tag the community, so tagging on a reply does not work. Good enough though.
The problem is a lot of entities like Fedora or CentOS want to be as loud as possible to attract a userbase. Lemmy and Mastodon are user-friendly, but they won't help Linux attract the masses
@OsrsNeedsF2P @michelin while we do want to be active on other social media platforms, Mastodon is actually our most active channel right now!
