Can anybody see this?

Just testing from mastodon to see if my shriveled brain can understand how this works.

Also, I can see this at https://lemmy.ml/post/1167451

where its a reddit-style post with the title "@asklemmy". While on kbin.social it appears more like a twitter post, no title.

@fox

I can see it on kbin.social when browsing asklemmy@lemmy.ml, it displays on the "microblog' tab.
I think kbin works for this better than lemmy.

@nightauthor @asklemmy

Yeah kbin seems to have a better organisation scheme.

@fox yup

Geometric7792,

@fox I can see it. I'm from kbin.social

Starfish,

i can see it from kbin.social. They call it a "Microblog" here. Not sure what this is

@Starfish

Appears that microblog is referring to mastodon content (twitter-like fediverse program). kbin seems to put relevant (unknown mechanism) mastodon content under the microblog tab of a "magazine" (subreddit analog)

Reply from kbin.social

interesting seeing the way kbin-"magazines" are @'d here, I guess that's how they end up in the 'microblog' section of "@test"

Fediverse is weird, gonna take a minute to wrap my head around.

PriorProject,

FYI, for future tests... there's https://lemmy.ml/c/test. It would be pretty irritating if this discussion community got flooded with test posts.

fox,

Thanks for the heads up. Will use in future.

Shdwdrgn,

So now... HOW did you do it? And is there a way to join lemmy communities from your mastodon account, or are the different types of accounts still fairly separated?

fox,

@Shdwdrgn So all I did to join asklemmy was search ‘asklemmy@lemmy.ml’ on mastodon and follow. Then to post I just mentioned asklemmy and wrote the post. I hit return after the mention so that might be why there’s no title.

I found that some replies did not make it to my masto account and I’m not sure why really...

Shdwdrgn,

Ah ok, I saw the comments about the first line title but wasn't sure what was meant there, this makes more sense. But yeah it sounds like, at least for now, it's best to use the appropriate web interface for each instance rather than trying to clump everything together. We might actually get there some day though!

fox,

Agreed. It’s definitely been helpful messing around with both accounts and seeing for myself how the interactions work.

Steve,

See what? I can't see anything

fox,

It’s a sailboat.

Steve,

I thought it might have been a schooner.

BurningnnTree,

Hi I can see your post

simple,

Helloooo. I can see the post but I dunno if you can set a title for it. Right now the title is "@asklemmy"

fox,

@simple Hey! Cool so it worked, kinda. Unless I stuffed it up somehow and there actually is a way to set a title from mastodon.
