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

On-brand implies this is typical of them and has been done by them in the past. What do you even mean by saying this is on-brand?

Open the menu, select Communities, set the filter to All, then type in words that you like.

I wonder if the reason they thought there was no search because they're posting from Mastodon 🤷‍♀️

oh no, so being federated with mastodon means we have to suffer getting those kinds of hot takes on our timeline?

Me (who searched for the majority of communities I'm currently subscribed to): We don't have what now?
