Hubzilla has a notion of channels that can be individual users or forum-based communities. You can share a post with public, some other fine-tuned lists, or post them on forums.

Lemmy communities correctly get recognised as forum channels. Why is it then that I still need to create a public post and tag the community channel to create a post rather than just posting and sharing with the forum channel??

TL;DR: Hubzilla forum channels = lemmy communities. Why still make public post and tag community then?

Ah, that makes sense.

I still wonder if there's a way to start a lemmy post from hubzilla without explicitly tagging the community, since it kind of seems like a nuisance on Lemmy's side and is exactly the kind of behaviour mastodon users interacting with lemmy get flamed for.

I guess this is the best I can do though 😅

I'm not familiar with Hubzilla, but it would seem fairly trivial to make it possible to address channels explicitly in a Multiselect field somewhere, rather than it being implicit by mentioning their handle in the body. In the case of Mastodon it's just the UX they want to go with I think
