Comment on Server Rundown Part 6
Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 1 year agoI’ve seen people are starting to add hashtags to posts that link to the mastadon trending pages, so by all means go for it. I’ve not used mastadon (have never used twitter or similar personally) so not sure how it works when linking to lemmy, but I imagine if they’re federated with us then they’ll be able to follow those posts via mastadon.

I have no idea how it works either. I can see Lemmy communities which shows the community sidebar but no posts are visible from Mastodon.
If someone could help out with getting posts to show on mastodon it could go a long way with helping with community engagement here.

I’ll have a look today if I get chance, been meaning to check out mastadon anyway!

I think I’ve figured it out. Posts and comments weren’t showing on the Mastodon Instance I joined (mastodon.online) however once I followed my own communities from my Mastodon account all new posts and comments started showing.
It seams that content only shows once someone from that instance follows the community.
At least I think that’s what’s happening. I’m pretty new to this whole federation thing.

Ah yeah that would make sense! As you’re probably the first person to seek these communities from that mastadon instance then you would need to subscribe before the content here pulls through, but once that’s done everyone should be able to see the content here. Glad it’s sorted :)
