I would like to post news articles to the lemmy.ml Palestine community from Mastodon. I have read that I only need a flair [News] in the title and the mention of @palestine@lemmy.ml in the body of the post. However, that hasn't seemed to work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :-)
I made a brief guide here: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095
What’s more, is it is posted to the test community on lemmy.ml, so you can find there too (link: https://lemmy.ml/post/1142168). A few people replied so you can see the whole federation thing happen too.
It is really the only way to fuse the two systems (posting from masto to lemmy), so please do this as much as you can!
The main issue you’re likely to run into is that lemmy only respects the first “at”-ed entity, whether community or masto user.
Excellent write-up. Will it also work from threads?
I have no idea about threads and personally don’t want to. You may find a fair amount of lemmy instances blocking threads though, compared to mastodon instances at least.
