@beaconsoul @flashlight You have successfully posted to Lemmy from Mastodon.

For people new to this federation thing, Dan has posted using Mastodon, software that resembles Twitter and speaks the same ActivityPub protocol that Lemmy, which resembles Reddit uses. I'm also replying using Mastodon.

The user experience tends to be smoother federating between software that's more similar, but it's nice that it's possible even when they're pretty different.

@zakreviews @flashlight This is really cool!

I've discovered a couple useful things:

If you move the @ to the end of the post, it won't appear in the title
A multiline post will treat the first line as title and the rest as body
Edits work, so if you want to send an old Mastodon post to a Lemmy community, you can just add the tag

Also fun: I have a script on my site to display Mastodon comments on my reviews. If I tag /c/flashlight, then the Lemmy discussion is included. See https://zakreviews.com/sc64c-le.html
