Question, what client are you using to post? Your post title on lemmy reads like this.
"< p >Hello new people joining the <a href=“https://social.wake.st/tags/Mastodon” class=“mention hashta”
I have seen this before but have no idea why its formatted that way
Does this response also do that? I don’t generally see markup on my comments when I click through to beehaw but maybe it shows up for some users and not others?
Had been eyeballing it for a awhile already. Just needed a little bit of a push to make the jump and start actually taking the time to grok the concept.
I’ve done social community migrations probably 2 or 3 times though already (Usenet -> Forums -> Social Media), so this all feels pretty old hat to me. Unlike previous Reddit revolts, Lemmy strikes me as an actually useable alternative, especially since other Fediverse communities can help pad out content while the site still tries to build out its own legs and specializations.
@liaizon @technology I didn’t know it was possible to post to #Lemmy communities from the #Fediverse, that’s awesome!
@realcaseyrollins @technology yeah you just have to tag the communities in the post. and it grabs the first sentence as the title of the thread!
@liaizon @technology That’s pretty dope. I’ll have to test that on my end!
I actually found Lemmy trough comments on Tweakers.net (A Dutch website about tech news). I was reading about the Reddit API changes and how Reddit was dealing with App developers, and felt like it was worth trying an alternative.
I tried Mastodon half a year ago, but it always felt like I was on the wrong server and I did not want to deal with using multiple accounts. The whole Federation setup feels a lot smoother here on Lemmy.
