ive noticed people commenting on a lemmy post via mastodon is covered in tags and ats, maybe they could filter those or something. just kind of jarring on lemmy

Hello from Mastodon.
Ats are not required, clients usually add them automatically, but they can be removed.
Only posting directly into a community from Mastodon requires @
yeah, this comment looks perfectly normal in lemmy. might just be "cultural" differences between the platforms
Isn't that exactly the beauty of the fediverse?
i meant specifically filtering the ats and hashtags, but as another person pointed out, that's just how the person posts, not extra fluff mastodon adds.
obviously the interoperability is one of the defining points of fediverse. was not suggesting filtering out mastodon posts themselves.
Use my account with obvious real person history to enable user account creation on any other federated server without sign up variables, passwords, or delays. If I'm logged in to my account here on Lemmy, parse that cookie, and hash the password.
I should be able to one-click post an image, short video, anonymous paste text, audio, or git repo for the first time from one well established credential.
I feel like this would be a moderation nightmare. Instant approval to use any instance just because you have an account on some other instance? You can just self host a troll instance and start logging in from everywhere else.
Also it breaks the community feeling of an instance. And I still don't really see why this feature is so often requested to be honest.
The Body in the post isn't included when federating with mastodon.
For example this post https://lemm.ee/post/62817829 has text in the body
Now, after a little more than two years, the company has packed up and left, abandoning the wells and associated crypto infrastructure in violation of state law, according to state regulators.
But when seen from mastodon it isn't there. https://mastodon.online/@Sibshops@lemm.ee/114432974900978842
