#experiment tagging @mozilla @mozilla @firefox @firefox to see if this post shows up on #lemmy .

Apparently your mastodon posts show up on Lemmy under the right circumstances (tagging a Lemmy community). 🤞

Edit: if I remove the tagging, will the post magically disappear from Lemmy too?

Edit:
For mastodon users wondering about this, here's the corresponding Lemmy thread: https://lemmy.ml/post/13358920

If people tagged firefox@mozilla.social it wouldn’t happen, but that profile doesn’t exist and they are tagging firefox@lemmy.ml. Presumably some autocomplete?

It’s working as expected, just a poor user experience especially when the Lemmy community gets random posts that are someone’s shower thought.

Honestly, poor user experience describes 99% of all microblogging content we see on Lemmy. Maybe the whole idea of federating structured with basically unstructured content is not that great in the first place.
