    Man I’m glad Twitter-like sites are federated with lemmy or we wouldn’t get to see hashtag-laden tweets like this here

        @glimse (joking aside, I wasn’t aware tags would come through this way, I’ll be more considerate about this in the future).

        (I’ll fault lemmy for this though: it reinterprets the HTML as Markdown but then fails at rendering it in the title.)

          It’s not your fault - I disagree with the federation in general. Discussion boards (Reddit, Lemmy, etc) aren’t the same thing as social media sites (Twitter, Mastodon, etc) and it doesn’t make any sense to me to combine them

          The vast majority of the posts I see aren’t discussions - they’re just communities getting tagged.

        What about the content of the posts? They’re usually pretty empty. “just installed the new @KDE release! @linux @linuxdevs” and the like
