Mastodon to Lemmy Federation Test.@fediverse Writing this from Mastodon as a Test. Hello!This is my first time doing this, i didn't knew that you could do this with Lammy groups until a few hours ago.Can someone tell me how Lemmy instances handles quotes from Mastodon and PeerTube links and stuff like that? Don't want to pollute the this group with test messages.

You just mention the community's handle like you would another user, and that creates the thread. Hence the @fediverse. Behind the scenes, the community then does the equivalent of a "boost" to push the thread to everyone who is following the community. If I recall correctly.

    That sounds relatively dangerous once the fedi becomes more popular.

    There are safeguards: This works only for one community per post, the second and later ones are ignored.

    It only works in top posts (toots), not in replies, replies also cannot post it to other lemmy communities.

    So one mastodon thread can only appear in 0 or 1 lemmy community, no more, they can't spam from there.
