I don’t get the point of what you are saying here. Cohen doesn’t get “it”? Democracy? What’s wrong with what she did and what she said?
Thanks for the heads-up, I hadn’t seen that. Glad to see it was re-categorized as an enhancement. Hopefully, someone will work on it at some point.
Right, I’m hoping that the change might be easy. If it requires major work, then no, it would be very unlikely. Thanks for responding.
Hi, has there been any progress on this? Thanks.
An admin just wrote me about this, and said to create an “issue” about it. Where do I go to do that? Thanks.
Yeah, good point, my mistake.
Yeah, I see your point. This post is fine for most communities, but not quite suitable for this one.
You were correct about flair - doesn’t help with Masto-to-lemmy. Thanks. (last night I posted this in the wrong place. It’s where I want it now.) :-)

I replied to maegul with some observations elsewhere in this thread. But if you want to see my first good Masto-to-Lemmy post, you can look here: https://lemmy.ml/post/19510351
Thanks a lot for your help. You are right about placement of community - I have mine way down in the post, but it is before other non-Lemmy groups.
One silly error I made when I started testing was that I tried to send the message non-public, so I wouldn’t send garbage to Mastodon followers. That didn’t work for getting it to Lemmy - I had to have my test post be public before I started seeing them in test lemmy.ml.
Also, I found that putting “[News]” in front of the title in Mastodon post doesn’t carry over well to Lemmy, so I don’t do that now.
Here is my simple prototype:
Title of news article
text, text
URL of article
hashtags (too many)
@palestine AT lemmy.ml (but entered correctly there)
2 more @ mentions to gup.pe groups
================
Thanks again for your posts!
