IIRC, when the URL (on the Mastodon side) is the first line, it pushes a text URL as the heading in Lemmy.

Image attachments work too, if you’re only using images.

The issue is you can’t have a Lemmy URL, a text heading and a custom thumbnail image in a single post.

This creates problems if you have both a Lemmy community and a Mastodon account and you want post only from the Mastodon account (with the post also going to Lemmy).

I spent a lot of time experimenting with this and I couldn’t find a good solution. I stick to posting to Lemmy and Mastodon using separate accounts.

Where the fields in a Lemmy post (heading/URL/Thumbnail URL) are inputted correctly from a Mastodon post. URL is not even possible unless it’s part of the body.

They can indeed federate, but IMO it’s not useful beyond simple posts.

There is no way to “sync” the text heading/URL/thumbnail.
