I love that I’m seeing more and more posts to Lemmy from Mastodon.
This one feature finally ties Lemmy in with the rest of the fediverse by providing the lacking feature: making top level posts. Lemmy (along with friendica!) will lead the way in making “groups” and forums in the fediverse, accessible from any platform you choose.
@fediverse
Lemmy has to make workarounds, because mastodon does not support subjects…
🙄🤫
Would be great to see subject lines supported in Mastodon. Anything that helps intercompatibiity is a win-win

@piratepost @JackFromWisconsin @jakob problem is, mastodon just strips all the body text of a friendica post with a title. It’s not even close to degrading gracefully.
It uses it as attachment…
And yes… i would prefer, if mastodon could handle subjects…
@jakob
Well good point 😂 the problem is that it’s very few platforms which are supporting subjects , not only Mastodon who doesn’t. You will also have problems from Misskey and Pleroma for example.
@jakob
@jakob @anders I think, on the contrary, that’s right: Mastodon is a microblogging software and there’s no need for Mastodon to support a complete display of “subject + text” messages.
There are few projects that support these messages (Friendica, Hubzilla and bloggers like writefreely and plume) but they are more than enough 😅
