Lesson learned on trying to mod [email protected]: Mbin accounts do not play nice with dealing with reports, or changing the sidebar or logo of a community on Lemmy. Lemmy accounts will not play nice with dealing with reports (I forget if they let you change sidebar or logo) unless your Lemmy account is on the same instance as the community. I now have a lemmy.world account, very clearly branded as Elevator7009sAlt.

[email protected] now has a couple subscribers which is nice. Trying to figure out how it talking to Mastodon works out. Recently discovered that when I explicitly make a for-Mastodon post on Mbin/Kbin by hitting "Add new post", it also federates to Lemmy… with the first few words as the title. Imagine a Tweet as a thread, with the first few words as the title… yeah, not nice. Have to keep that in mind. Also, link posts I make federate out to Mastodon but any text I put in the body gets wiped which is just sad. The title gets posted twice, once alone and once with the hashtags next to it. I cannot even link to the link post on Mastodon to demonstrate this. All options that might give me the link, even one that looks like a link to the Mastodon post, instead sends you to the Steam page I linked in the link post. Also saw that marking spoilers does not work on Mastodon. Wondering whether I should quit trying to play nice with Mastodon and stop having the magazine tagged. Probably.
