Just found @ghazi which, according to them, is A community for progressive issues, social justice and LGBT+ causes in media, gaming, entertainment and tech. If you’re on Hometown, etc, like me, you can follow by clicking their name at the start of this post. #SocialJustice

    Did you mean to post this to [email protected]?

    I imagine most of the users posting to rblind are registered on the rblind instance as well, so that means just typing @ghazi won’t link them to this community on lemmy.blahaj.zone, it would try to direct them to a community named ghazi on the rblind instance. To link across instances you need to type !communityname@instancename

    Example: [email protected]

    Let me know if any of that was unclear!

      OP’s on Mastodon so they most likely didn’t intend on posting here but to their own followers. Tagging a Lemmy group does create a post which makes some sense given that’s how the likes of guppe groups and whatnot work, but on the Lemmy side it can end up being quite jarring to see posts like this without that context.

        @ShittyKopper @Catoblepas Correct! I was trying to post to my community over on Hometown but I did follow the group/community so can jump in on discussions, I just can’t share article links because, I think, Federation won’t let me share links over here to there? Have others been able to do it outside of Lemmy or KBin to the community?

          You can post stuff like links on Lemmy through Mastodon, but personally I advise against it. The format is rather weird and the actual link will be hidden in the description.

          Over here is a test we made.

          Lemmy probably still needs to iron out some stuff before that will work smoothly.

            @squirrel Possibly! For us, over here, using Hometown and Glitch, etc. How it should have Federated is our CW’s, content warnings, over here should be post titles over there, and our posts should be the body/link/whatever over there but I hope all this gets worked out with updates! Also glad to see you all in the Fediverse.

              Same.

              Hopefully future improvements will make the various parts of the Fediverse more interoperable. Lemmy and Kbin in particular are still rather janky, though promising.
