Lemmy: Difference between revisions

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs or Hacker News: You subscribe to communities that you're interested in, post links and vote and comment on them. <br>

Since its part of the {{Internal Link |target=What is the Fediverse? |link-name=Fediverse}} different Lemmy instances can communicate with each other and to some degree, with the rest of the Fediverse, but discoverability between Lemmy and other parts of the Fediverse is limited. Also Lemmy uses Markdown and pictures in a way, that other parts of the Fediverse have trouble displaying.

{{Internal Link |target=What is Mastodon? |link-name=Mastodon}} users can take part in Lemmy discussions and subscribe to Lemmy communities. To post in a Lemmy community simply mention the Lemmy community (@LemmyCommunity@LemmyInstance.tdl) in a Mastodon post.<br>

The first paragraph of the Mastodon post will display in Lemmy as the title, the rest will be the text body. Hashtags won't be displayed in Lemmy.
