What's with the title? It's just a tag and a URL. Tags do nothing on Lemmy and look awful. URLs in titles also do nothing and look awful. And what's with the a escaped #-character? Is it to safely pass the title in bash-scripts?
The article link is broken. And the multiple levels of crossposting just seems kind of.... lazy.
It seems like there is a problem with whatever Lemmy UI you're using. The post is formatted fine in the default Lemmy UI with the hashtags showing as normal hyperlinks: image
I'm aware that hashtags don't have a function in Lemmy, but the post is originally from Mastodon. Furthermore, in spoken English sometimes people will add "hashtag" as a prefix to words and phrases for emphasis. That said, @dessalineset al should definitely add hashtag functionality to Lemmy. It could be useful for post flair, for example, besides compatibility with the rest of the fediverse.
Sorry if you don't like cross posting. I think it's a nice feature that helps more people see posts and find communities. It also helps me interact with commenters when I make a post originally to Pixelfed or Mastodon.
Interesting. Lemmy.world is running 0.19.3, but my instance is still stuck on 0.18.2. I wonder why Lemmy would have lost ability to format hashtags in titles nicely.
Disregarding the malplaced markup in the title, the article link is also broken. (Contains broken markup).
And again the multiple indentations and "cross-posted from" makes it look like Re: Re: FW material. I think my criticism is valid, even if I probably did sound a bit like a dick about it.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !crosspost
