  IIRC you must be following the community with your Mastodon Account to be able to post there. At least that was the problem, when I tried it the last time.

    I tried again, this time after making sure to follow the community, but it still failed.

      Although I cannot remember how to do it “correctly” I have a suspicion whats wrong with your post:

      Mastodon just has a “text” for the post, some mentions and maybe media attached to it.

      Lemmy also features a post title and an URL. IIRC the first paragraph of your post get converted to the title, the remainder is the post body (maybe you need to put the desired link second?!). I guess your text in the first paragraph is too long to fit in the title and the post is discarded.

      Try something like this:

      ICE Tucson, AZ - 2/7/26
      
      Fascist paramilitary invaders deployed...
      
      Source: reddit.com/...

  Try following the communities first.

  Not sure if it works for more than one community at a time, but maybe it does?
