@fediverse Is this a title ?

Whatever you put after the '@' mention in the first line of your message to a Lemmy community becomes the post title. Anything below it becomes part of the body text.

Finally I understand this.

I'm fairly sure Lemmy image embeds won't be visible in Mastodon since it doesn't have rich text formatting / markdown.

@Rentlar @uhrbaan Here is the meme for the Mastodon people:

@PlasticPigeon I agree with you, and understand what you are trying to say, you are right. The projects could work in a better integration with one another, but this is hard, and not every project is willing to do so, specially when they are different format of content. The #fediverse works thanks to the collaboration, and free work from many volunteers, so is not that easy. Obviously, I would love if mastodon supported long formatted posts from #kbin and #lemmy, and not just a link to the post, better format from groups/communities/magazines, and I would love to see lemmy supporting following users.

And then there are those that defederate from their own kind / federated social network, splintering the Fediverse even further apart.

Because the #fediverse (or the #socialweb as some folks call it) is open, everyone can create a server, block users they don't want to interact with, and block servers they don't want to interact nor have a copy of their content. Each server has their own rules, you can even create your own, but don't be surprised if other servers block your server, you are still free to say what you want there, and they are free to block you.

This is what makes the Fediverse so frustrating.

For me, this is incredible, this comment was send from #kbin replying to another comment made from #lemmy, and said comment is replying to a post send from #mastodon to a lemmy community. This is mind blowing, you can even comment to some websites out there.

I follow: communities from lemmy, magazines from kbin, mastodon users, pixelfed users, flipboard accounts, firefish users, and users from friendica.

Could it be better? Absolutely, we could learn from other alternatives out there, and upgrading the protocol for better features.

You tag the Lemmy community

@uhrbaan @fediverse edit and it will look a lot better in Lemmy
