#experiment tagging @mozilla @mozilla @firefox @firefox to see if this post shows up on #lemmy .

Apparently your mastodon posts show up on Lemmy under the right circumstances (tagging a Lemmy community). 🤞

Edit: if I remove the tagging, will the post magically disappear from Lemmy too?

Edit:
For mastodon users wondering about this, here’s the corresponding Lemmy thread: https://lemmy.ml/post/13358920

Mastodon thread for Lemmy users: https://fosstodon.org/@thegreybeardofthetree/112120405122806398

    If people tagged firefox@mozilla.social it wouldn’t happen, but that profile doesn’t exist and they are tagging firefox@lemmy.ml. Presumably some autocomplete?

    It’s working as expected, just a poor user experience especially when the Lemmy community gets random posts that are someone’s shower thought.

      Honestly, poor user experience describes 99% of all microblogging content we see on Lemmy. Maybe the whole idea of federating structured with basically unstructured content is not that great in the first place.

      @mozilla @firefox
      Answer found: it is a reply to the original post!

      Further, an upvote on #lemmy is a boost on #mastodon.

      What’s weird is that the boost seems to come from the community it was posted to, not the Lemmy user that upvoted it.

      I wonder what happens when there are multiple upvotes … Multiple boosts by the and community (e.g. @firefox)?

        Not quite. An upvote on Lemmy is a favorite on mastodon. However, all posts on Lemmy look like they are a “boost” by the community when viewing from mastodon.

          I see multiple upvotes, but only one boost.

          Further, the boost only seems to apply to the top post, not to the replies.

          Well that’s odd, what if it’s a different user that’s commenting? Maybe all the boosts went to the top post because it was all by the same user

          Even better - you can see the whole thread from both #lemmy and from #Mastodon . However, you only see the conversation, not upvotes/downvotes in mastodon, while you see votes too in Lemmy.

          Edit: I tried to not tag @firefox this time to see if my reply showed up on Lemmy. It didn’t.

          Tagging so the Lemmy thread also shows the reply and pictures.
