I'm not sure why Mastodon posts always end up looking so bad on Lemmy. The title is always gored and the post always has hashtags that do nothing in Lemmy. Just because they're technically cross compatible doesn't mean they should be.
Mostly because the people writing them don't understand how their post will be parsed, and the post lives simultaneously on Lemmy / Kbin and Mastodon.
Lemmy just takes the first paragraph from the post as the title. So if the poster knows that, they can format it like:
I think it uses the tweet content as both the post title and body when Lemmy tries to display masto tweets. Maybe the title should just be "Mastodon post from @username" tbh
