Here are the "tips" I have learnt for using #Lemmy with #mastodon
Follow communities and people by copying the url into the mastodon search. You follow them a bit like you would a hashtag and then all posts from that community will show in your feed.
Reply to posts or comments you copy the url of a post or comments into the search on mastodon.
Post to a community by @ it in for example it would be @ "feddituk@feddit.uk" or @ "unitedkingdom@feddit.uk".
I've been trying to post a picture and every time I preview it, the picture within the post is turning sideways. No matter how many times I try rotating it, saving it and re-uploading it to the post, it's still sideways. What am I doing wrong?
Maybe the picture has (or hasn't) got rotational metadata built in? It's possible Lemmy doesn't handle rotational properly. Post it in this thread if you like.
I managed to figure it out, sort of. I uploaded the image into the 'URL' bar rather than trying to attach it within the body of the post. That seemed to give the correct orientation.
