i'm pretty sure you can create lemmy posts directly from mastodon.
i just did it here: https://lemmy.ca/post/823311
basically, you just have to mention a lemmy community (which masto considers groups), and that creates a post.
you can also follow lemmy communities from your mastodon account as well.
i'm not sure what happens when a community and user have the same name though, because both seem to just use the
@[email protected]format.OK, this is VERY good. And just mention it anywhere? Hmm. Does the first link or image end up in the link or image field in Lemmy? I'll try your test group!
Ah yes, I didn't mean to skip group / community following, and I am following some already. The note there is that the communities don't make posts -- they boost the posts of the OP account posts / commenter posts (this would be a good screenshot too). I need to put all of this probably on a page on cosocial.info as a permanent FAQ.
You're right, if I were to create user
[email protected], that would overlap with a group namedvancouver. On lemmy, it's @ vs ! of course.Feels like Lemmy should check for that and not allow it? My lag on sign up makes it annoying to test. One of the things I need to ask you about.
i can give it a quick test here, i'm curious to see what happens. will report back tomorrow with the results!
