@youshouldknow YSK that you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon, and Mastodon users can interact in Lemmy threads. This is a Mastodon account.

Seems like there’s a new wave of Lemmy users, thought they may find that interesting! It can also work with other Fediverse software as well. It’s all interconnectable. It’s not perfect and there’s some quirks due to Lemmy being a forum and Mastodon being a microblog. But you can ping Mastodon users in threads, and they can reply seamlessly.

      Try following the communities first.

      Not sure if it works for more than one community at a time, but maybe it does?

      IIRC you must be following the community with your Mastodon Account to be able to post there. At least that was the problem, when I tried it the last time.

          Although I cannot remember how to do it “correctly” I have a suspicion whats wrong with your post:

          Mastodon just has a “text” for the post, some mentions and maybe media attached to it.

          Lemmy also features a post title and an URL. IIRC the first paragraph of your post get converted to the title, the remainder is the post body (maybe you need to put the desired link second?!). I guess your text in the first paragraph is too long to fit in the title and the post is discarded.

          Try something like this:

          ICE Tucson, AZ - 2/7/26
