For the future, it's probably best to post to Lemmy communities from a Lemmy, kbin, or Friendica account; otherwise you risk the formatting of your message getting badly messed up, as it has here. It's cool that you can post here from Mastodon but that doesn't make it a good idea.
It would also have helped if you included some description with your link.
6You can actually write posts from a Mastodon account that look well on Lemmy. All you have to do is follow a few basic rules.
- Your post must include a line break. Everything above the break will be converted into the title of the post, everything below into the body.
- Don't put any hyperlinks into your title. That includes hashtags and @ mentions. See the original post for why
- Keep your headline short. Lemmy has a character limit for the headline and if you exceed it your title might just end mid sentence
- Put the @ mention of the community at the end of your post. It's nothing but a technical necessity, so treat it as such and hide it away at the bottom of your post
If you follow these rules you can write posts from Mastodon
