I haven’t spent long on Lemmy, but I see a lot of posts with their title literally being “Title”. Is it meant to be a joke? Is it because the title would otherwise be a quote ripped from the image/post itself, and the posters don’t want their fellow Lemmites to get bored from reading the same bit of text twice? Reason why I ask is because I recently posted something where I took the title from the body of text in the post, and I’m wondering if people find it less annoying to read a single placeholder word before clicking into the main post than to end up rereading a bit of the body later.
Thanks for explaining the Mastodon-Lemmy compatibility thing. I’ve been confused about it for quite awhile. My alt’s instance blocks a bunch of Mastodon servers, and I’ve always wondered why, since I almost never see any content from Mastodon users on here anyway. I always assumed it was simply a gesture for the admins show that they disapprove of that server’s policies or something.
My instance blocks a lot of mastodon instances too, but that’s because I sync the blocklist between my lemmy instance and my microblog instance.
