Lol, ok the formatting between mastodon and Lemmy isn't exactly great, but oh well. This post is mostly meant for Mastodon.

you tried, that's what matters lol
I believe the first line becomes the title, so if you start the post with a short non-formatted line it will work just fine on both platforms.
Correct. The requirements are:
- put a link to the community anywhere in a Mastodon toot and a post is automatically generated on Lemmy
- the first line becomes the title/headline
- additionally, a recent change in Lemmy removed Markdown formatting from headlines, so instances that are sufficiently up-to-date will have links and hashtags show up as literal text instead of links: https://pawb.social/comment/1624631
Ah ok! Very good to know!
