Hi I found out that it is possible to create a thread on a lemmy community using a mastodon account by mentioning the community handle. but the process is quite undocumented and unknown to many of us.

How Can I make a thread with a separate title and post body from an app like tusky?

how to make the community @ mention not appear on the title ?

Are there any propagation problems to be aware of ?

sometimes the post doesn’t show on the community feed, or takes too long to show, or shows from another instance quicker than the one I have posted in. the post might have the correct creation timestamp but fails to show up on the lemmy community promptly.

    So the trick is to write the Title on a separate first line, and after the line break the body follows, neat !

    Maybe someone could make a short video on youtube ans share it on mastodon for more people to see, It is a shame to have 2 MILLION monthly active users on mastodon who don’t know about how these platforms interact with each other. more work should be done on that
