@fediverse, Is it now possible to post on Lemmy from Mastodon?

@Yeet well it seems to have worked as the Fediverae group boosted this onto my timeline!

I thought untitled posts would be discarded. Maybe I was wrong?

That was the change in the last Lemmy release. A workaround for the fact that Mastodon doesn't do post titles. I think they just use the first line as the subject now? Not sure, as I don't use Mastodon

@Yeet It does look kinda messy from lemmy.ml, though. Seems not to know how to strip HTML...

@Yeet@mathstodon.xyz @fediverse@lemmy.ml Yep! As long as the Lemmy instance you're posting to has upgraded to the latest release

I guess it is...

Looking from Lemmy, it looks like there needs to be a better way of formatting titles.

@namehere I'm really half-doxing myself here by mixing up both my pseudo-anonymous accounts

I read you. And it seems to be possible to post from Hubzilla, too :)

@Yeet I can do it from Friendica, so should be possible from Mastodon as well.

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Friendica has always been able to do it. Mastodon has only been able to do it as of the last Lemmy release. It's due to the fact that Mastodon doesn't do subject lines, but Friendica does
