  • You can post to Lemmy communities directly from Mastodon (they’re both based on ActivityPub). You first follow the Lemmy community in Mastodon, then create a post that mentions the handle for the community (in this case, @coys@lemmy.world). The first line of the post becomes the title of the Lemmy post and subsequent lines the body. A little rainbow fediverse icon is displayed on posts that have been federated in from outside of Lemmy.

    It works quite well, but there are a few quirks. You can’t attach more than one image, for example, and you can’t create URL posts. But replies work both ways, and if you favourite the post in Mastodon, it counts as an upvote. It’s pretty neat

    But it seems that posts that arrive via Mastodon can’t be moderated? This could be hugely problematic. I mean, posts coming from Mastodon that can’t be deleted - what could possibly go wrong? 😅

    Looks like you can block users and instances, but that’s not helpful when someone creates a post in error like I did. It’s an easy mistake to make: you just mention the Lemmy community’s handle.
