@asklemmy

Can anybody see this?

Just testing from mastodon to see if my shriveled brain can understand how this works.

FYI, for future tests... there's https://lemmy.ml/c/test. It would be pretty irritating if this discussion community got flooded with test posts.

Thanks for the heads up. Will use in future.

i can see it from kbin.social. They call it a "Microblog" here. Not sure what this is

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@Starfish

Appears that microblog is referring to mastodon content (twitter-like fediverse program). kbin seems to put relevant (unknown mechanism) mastodon content under the microblog tab of a "magazine" (subreddit analog)

See what? I can't see anything

I believe it's the text under the title of the post that reads [@asklemmy

I think this user submitted this post from Mastodon. Which is so neat!

@fox I can see it. I'm from kbin.social

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Helloooo. I can see the post but I dunno if you can set a title for it. Right now the title is "@asklemmy"

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@simple Hey! Cool so it worked, kinda. Unless I stuffed it up somehow and there actually is a way to set a title from mastodon.

@fox I see it this whole instance thing is messing with my brain

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@fox

I can see it on kbin.social when browsing [email protected], it displays on the "microblog' tab.
I think kbin works for this better than lemmy.

@nightauthor @asklemmy

Yeah kbin seems to have a better organisation scheme.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@fox

Also, I can see this at https://lemmy.ml/post/1167451

where its a reddit-style post with the title "@asklemmy". While on kbin.social it appears more like a twitter post, no title.
