I love that I’m seeing more and more posts to Lemmy from Mastodon.
This one feature finally ties Lemmy in with the rest of the fediverse by providing the lacking feature: making top level posts. Lemmy (along with friendica!) will lead the way in making “groups” and forums in the fediverse, accessible from any platform you choose. @fediverse

Well good point 😂 the problem is that it’s very few platforms which are supporting subjects , not only Mastodon who doesn’t. You will also have problems from Misskey and Pleroma for example. @jakob
@JackFromWisconsin@jakob I think, on the contrary, that’s right: Mastodon is a microblogging software and there’s no need for Mastodon to support a complete display of “subject + text” messages.
There are few projects that support these messages (Friendica, Hubzilla and bloggers like writefreely and plume) but they are more than enough 😅
It would help to write up a guideline how to handle unknown objects. I would say something like “type: name” as a title followed by the summary + url or id, would be a good default.
If somebody wants to workout the details, this would make an excellent FEP. I would write it myself, if I didn’t have FEP-2e40 to finish and then a Client2Server one to write.
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of “federation” and “universe”. It is a common, informal name for a federation of social network servers whose main purpose is microblogging, the sharing of short, public messages.
Lemmy has to make workarounds, because mastodon does not support subjects…

Would be great to see subject lines supported in Mastodon. Anything that helps intercompatibiity is a win-win
