Alright, so I can start a thread/create a post on lemmy from hubzilla, but the behaviour's... weird?

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?

I would've thought formatting quirks like @ and @! only need to be recognized by the poster's instance, where it would then be converted into a generic markdown link as well as be added to the "to" or "cc" field of the ActivityStream?
