Here's a quick tip for folks on Aussie.zone who are new to Lemmy.

As well as appearing on Lemmy, your posts and replies are visible across all the apps on the Fediverse.

That includes Mastodon, KBin, Calckey, and others.

If you want more people to see and reply to your comments and replies, make sure you include a hashtag e.g. #AFL [#AFL](https://aus.social/tags/AFL)

It makes your posts/comments/replies easier to find across all the Fediverse apps.

Edit: Testing simple tags with this post - https://aussie.zone/post/297508 - doesn't work. They may need to be hyperlinked. Testing a hyperlinked edit into post also does not appear. This may be fake news, it may only work Mastodon into Lemmy, not out.

For Lemmy posts I don't mind so much, but I hope this doesn't become the norm for comments. Mastodon and Lemmy offer pretty different styles of social media conversation, and I could see things getting messy for users if they bleed into each other too much. Maybe it's just a UX issue that needs to be solved.

Yep, it's a mess between the 2. I tried for a while but it's easier to have separate accounts.

Exposing each platform is important in the interim though.

So this is why I saw the gaming instance on Beehaw on Mastodon. I don't mind this so much, but I also use my Mastodon as my "professional" account. Luckily my name on Lemmy and Mastodon are different but still.

Huh, thought the connection to Mastodon only worked on kbin's microblogs. TIL.

https://aussie.zone/post/297508 - simple tags with this post don't appear in my Mastodon.

A hyperlinked tag edited in to above post also does not appear.

That is interesting. I actually wondered/ wanted hashtags to be common on lemmy like mastodon and have the ability to follow /block hashtags in lemmy.

AJ's tags are hyperlinked. If we just type a hashtag in here, does it appear elsewhere? On Mastodon, you usually select the autocompleted hashtag as you write it, it doesn't work like that here.
