        Huh. I know Masto doesn’t do Markdown formatting, but I think that would’ve worked here. I guess escaping that does make more sense though

    Can you make an inverse instructional on how to browse and post to Mastadon from Lemmy? Lol

    One thing I don’t understand is the tagging. Every micro-blog in existence sees fit to tag every one of the other 12 participants in the thread automatically, which seems to only make things cluttered and really fucking annoying.

      It is even more annoying on Lemmy clients that show every link in a comment at the bottom of the comment in easy to tap boxes. This is great for 1 or 2, but every mastodon post has everyone @ing everyone else.

      I just downvote it all, block the users, and move on. That shit is annoying.

        Yeah, being able to use Lemmy from Mastodon is great in theory but it’s terrible in practice. I’ve been using Mastodon since 2019 but wouldn’t waste my time trying to use Lemmy with that account. The experience just sucks for mastodon users and lemmy users alike. Fortunately, I’ve somehow managed to figure out how to juggle two separate accounts. It’s remarkable.

    @fossilesque This is really neat! I really like being able to be on a completely different instance and commenting/favoriting from other federated instances.
