MODERATORS
As an aside, isn’t the whole point of the Fediverse that we should be able to move content around? It’s sad that the only way to upvote a Mastodon post on Lemmy is through a screenshot or a link. Why can’t it just be a post that we can upvote?
Technically, it could. You can access Lemmy posts from Mastodon, and see that it's basically a comment boosted by the community at Lemmy.
Just one of the 1001+ features possible, but still missing on Lemmy.
You can do that from kbin. No need for screenshots.
No! Must post screenshots of text for maximum engagement!
Firstly here is the original for you! https://aus.social/@burgerdrome/111045551054809770
Secondly, yes I agree, sort of. Images are a common format to take posts from multiple microblog sources for this community, so tumblr posts and Mastodon toots and tweets from X all come in a consistent format. This also makes it easy to share onwards too.
Someone else mentioned kbin, and someone else mentioned posting to Lemmy from Mastodon, which is possible... but images are just easiest right now.
