That post seems to be missing.

@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world Someone on this Mastodon instance started to follow the tycoon lemmy community, that's why the posts of that community started to federate to that Mastodon instance.

Afaik there is no way to modify the appearance of Lemmy posts on other services.

I see. I had a suspicion that this was somehow tied to my specific instance on Mastodon.

Correct me if I am wrong, but theoretically the Lemmy (Agent Karyo) posts could have already been federated on larger Mastodon instances, but I didn't see them because someone on mstdn.games needed to have first followed !tycoon@lemmy.world for me to see them on my mstdn.games feed?

And Lemmy content on Mastodon always follows the community = hashtag model?

The lack of ability to customize the appearance of Lemmy posts on Mastodon is really annoying. The default method is not suitable for micro-blogging.

I guess I will just continue doing what I did before and wait till there is a better system of managing Lemmy <> Mastodon interactions.

lemmy.world recently updated from version 0.19.3 to 0.19.10. This change - for Lemmy communities to federate out posts with the community name as a hashtag - was introduced in 0.19.4, so that might be the other reason why this has only just become an issue for you.

That explains in my older experiment the community fediverse as a user and I could get my posts properly tied to a hashtag. I need to try again!

Lemmy posts that are federated to Mastodon appear there with the community name as a hashtag. You can view your Lemmy profile from your Mastodon instance and see what got federated to that instance and how it appears there.

The Mastodon <> Lemmy problem has two sides. Lemmy devs are very busy and it's hard to know where should particular change be fixed. Should mastodon implement better group and page support or Lemmy more customization.

Someone on this Mastodon instance started to follow the tycoon lemmy community

Fascinating info. I'd noticed that posts from the lemmy community !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip were showing up on Mastodon. For example: https://mastodon.social/...

But how do I follow a lemmy community from mastodon? I tried a couple things but nothing worked. Thanks for any additoinal info.

https://mastodon.social/...

This is my community. I just put the direct link https://bookwormstory.social/c/aobprepub into the search bar and follow.

I think it's worth trying putting the link in the post body. Mastodon might generate a preview image with it.

Another option would be creating the posts on mastodon, and mentioning the lemmy community. The KDE community uses this method for their announcements. Example: https://lemmy.world/post/27768851

Yes, the ay they do it at KDE is the most seamless imteraction currently possible between lemmy and mastodon

Sorry, I didn't quiet get that.

The manual Mastodon posts already include a link to the Lemmy post URL.

What would adding a @tycoon@lemmy.world to Mastodon posts do on the Lemmy side?

Or maybe I am not getting something?

mentioning a Lemmy community on Mastodon causes the Mastodon post to appear as a new Lemmy thread on that community AFAIK

Interesting, I will have to experiment with this. I am curious how the Mastodon formatting would transform to Lemmy.

!kde@lemmy.kde.social is a community that gets a lot of posts like that, try looking at that.
