It's like the early internet, you have to move around and eventually you'll find what you are looking for. Follow that link! Search engines were useful for that back in the day.

I bet we'll have similar services even if we do not have them just yet.

I'm not sure why Mastodon posts always end up looking so bad on Lemmy. The title is always gored and the post always has hashtags that do nothing in Lemmy. Just because they're technically cross compatible doesn't mean they should be.

Mostly because the people writing them don't understand how their post will be parsed, and the post lives simultaneously on Lemmy / Kbin and Mastodon.

Lemmy just takes the first paragraph from the post as the title. So if the poster knows that, they can format it like:

Title title title

Body of post

People are so impatient! We’re at the start of a potential paradigm shift; these things take time and need time to develop.

Everyone’s so desperate for federated services to be drop in replacements. Let them be different, let them be better
