Just joined Lemmy today. Still getting my head around things. So here’s a gorn inspired piece I drew and posted to Pixelfed.

Are hashtags a thing here? Am I supposed to hashtag?

Anyway, enjoy :)

    Very cool! Great art and thoughtful descriptions!

    I don’t think hashtags are much of a thing for Lemmy but if they do have a purpose here hopefully someone more knowledgeable will explain.

      well, OP is posting from pixelfed. Pretty sure hashtags work there, and if not, pixelfed and masto and the rest of the microblogs federate well with each other, and hashtags definitely have meaning there.

      Otherwise, @Fluffgar@sh.itjust.works, if you want, you can post to lemmy directly from pixelfed. You just have to “at” the community as though it’s a user (in this case @startrek@startrek.website).

      For an example: here’s a lemmy post that was posted directly from pixelfed (see original pixelfed post here).

      Basic guidelines for doing this are:

      • lemmy will use the first line as the title (first line should be followed by a blank line)
      • lemmy will only use the first “at”, so if you want to “at” anyone else, do so after the lemmy community (lemmy does this to prevent spam)
      • The rest of the post will work as you expect (photo and post body where they should be) … yay federation!
