Well... It works, but a couple of notes (mostly to myself, but, experts, feel free to weigh in) for the future:

Don't lead with the "@adventuregames" tag. It's messy.
Keep titles short, 'cos it copies the contents of the post as the title.
Figure out if there's a way to split title and post content in the Mastodon toot, so the post content isn't just a copy of the title.
I can't edit the post after the fact ('cos my Mastodon user and Lemmy user are, as far as this platform is concerned, two different people), and I'm worried if I edit the toot on Mastodon, it'll just post a new thread here instead of editing the existing one.

Don’t lead with the “@adventuregames” tag. It’s messy.

part of it is due to the bugged formatting, which should be fixed in Lemmy 0.19.0 I think? maybe 0.18.5 if that happens

Figure out if there’s a way to split title and post content in the Mastodon toot, so the post content isn’t just a copy of the title.

I think you just need a line break in the toot, or maybe a blank line

Yes, the first line of your toot becomes the title on Lemmy. Break it off from the main body of text and you're all good 👍
