So there’s a couple of thoughts here, and I’ve only experimented a little bit.

You can post directly from your Mastodon account to a community by calling out the community by its address like @fediverse@lemmy.world in your post (toot) (don’t think anything will happen by me using it here). You’ll see the Mastodon post as a community style post in the community like this: https://lemmy.world/post/1222638

You can my click my mas.to profile and see some things in the Lemmy context - not my verified links, but things like my profile picture and background, bio, Cake day, sending me a message.

I don’t know how to interact with Mastodon users viaa Lemmy or Kbin. Like above if I reference my Mastodon user @hemmes@mas.to I don’t believe anything happens.

So OP’s only options are posting a snapshot or, my choice, he can add the Mastodon post link to his Lemmy community post (in the header not the body) and have the same results as any other web link - the Mastodon media would get a thumbnail in the community post listing, with maybe some relevant content preview, etc. While that will deliver a superior viewing experience, that’s not actually communicating with ActivityPub through the Fediverse, it’s simply a web link to the Mastodon instance server’s user’s post.

Edit: Okay, so it looks like mentioning my mas.to handle does indeed alert me (almost instantly in this case), that’s cool!

This is the way

Yeah, it sounds like her joke was met with a lot of resistance.

Structured AF

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing. There was this great bot that was autocorrecting community links and I was hoping this was possible for post-links on Lemmy instances.

Is there a way to link posts in the context of the reader’s instance? Like with !c community links?

Oh ok. Its a “would you come on and look at that!" Type of comment, positive. Got it!

I love coffee, but have no idea what we're talking about.

Yeah, who knows how good those admin tools are. Maybe he can nuke all content posted to and from certain instances at once?

Yes I believe that’s him. Yeah, he might be in cold sweat mode. I’ve been there, but not with legal issues just down servers. It sounded like he “was spoken to” by someone about the local laws. That’s gotta suck.

Oh that’s from him?? Then yeah that’s what this seems like. But that’s exactly what I would do if illegal and risky shit ended up on my server. But I would post to another instance, Mastodon, or something to let users know what’s going on.

(feel bad I forgot his name and obviously can’t check now, he appears to be a great admin)

This is my main instance. Been solid for weeks since I signed up. I’m using my first from .one now. Not sure where to go for Q&A. Is there a Discord, Mastodon, Gangnam Style’s comment section on YouTube I can goto??

Wait people have an issue with screening? Mine took less than 24 hours, but I’d wait a week. I don’t know how in the world mods and admins have the time to do this stuff but god bless ‘em.

Also, some instances like my own have disabled downvoting. I didn’t know that was a thing when I signed up, but I really enjoy .one so far. That being said I think disabling downvotes is killing the self moderation to the extent that it alters the expected flow of this type of curation platform and, most importantly, places excess loads on the mods.

Screening, let the users do their thing, mods step in when shit hits the fan. In that order.

Thanks to all you admins and mods for what you do, keeping the world moving for us internet junkies.
