@Zach777 @m_artigiani @fediversereport @fediverseobserver That works? I thought that's how you'd do it but I didn't know it worked, partially because the formatting is a bit different (don't they expect a title _and_ a body?)

@blake I have posted to Lemmy from this account before.

Basically the title would be the paragraph above the paragraphs on the bottom. Everything below the top paragraph gets put into the body of the post.

@Zach777 Oh, that makes sense. Posts from Lemmy/Kbin show up like that on Mastodon too.

@Zach777 @blake forgive my ignorance as I was never on reddit (but now I'm confused). Is the difference in the type of service that on these kbin and lemmy, the conversations are subject based and generate a long thread? Whereas on Mastodon it's more a timeline of unrelated messages? Thank you

@gpollara @Zach777 That sounds right to me. Each post to a community has a title and either some text or a "link" (the link could be an image, too). Comments can be made to those posts, which don't show up in most other places (on those sites).

@blake @Zach777 thanks I'll give it a go. I guess I have to find a topic first! 😉

@gpollara On reddit/kbin threads all the submissions are separate per topic (subreddit on reddit, or magazine here on kbin). Inside of those subreddits/magazines people post relevant content to the topic, like a singular topic/question/thing they wanna share. people then respond to it. Imagine you have a single hashtag for a top-level toot/tweet and you post a singular topic/idea/question related to that. people then can see it in that topic and response.

With mastodon it's as you said, where things are based more on the individual (you follow someone and see their stuff or you don't, and everything's separate). Basically: lemmy/kbin stuff is categorized by topic, mastodon stuff is categorized by person.
