A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Question, what client are you using to post? Your post title on lemmy reads like this.
"< p >Hello new people joining the <a href="https://social.wake.st/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashta"
I have seen this before but have no idea why its formatted that way
Probably bc Mastodon toots don't have a post title, so it looks like Lemmy just uses the first x-many characters from the toot body, which includes some markdown links.
So I guess either mastodon would need to add some custom code that detects a Lemmy federated post and prompts its user for a title, Or Lemmy would need to detect that it's a mastodon toot and add some sort of generic title like "Cross toot from Mastodon"
@eric5949 @shortwavesurfer
Does this response also do that? I don't generally see markup on my comments when I click through to beehaw but maybe it shows up for some users and not others?
@eric5949 So for now it probably seems safe to reply as normal, and simply ensure that there aren't tags in the post title when posting to a community, is what I'm thinking then.
