Protip if you're going to post to Lemmy from Mastodon: don't put your hashtags at the top of your post. The first line of text gets converted into the post title. It looks like dogshit currently.

Looks like if i edit on mastodon, it updates on Lemmy. Hopefully it shows up correctly now. (Looks fine on jerboah for me now)
