Yeah from what I’ve seen, even if you get it to work the formatting’s usually messed up. Unless you’re ONLY posting an image, text, and a title to a single sub and don’t care about tracking upvotes and replies.
For those not on mastodon.social, here’s how you can see this lemmy community on your mastodon instance:
go to search, and search for “gothindustrial”. if at least one person on your instance is following it, then you’ll see the community listed, and you should be able to Follow it.
if you don’t see it, then search for the URL: “https://lemmy.world/c/gothindustrial” and you should then see it listed, and be able to Follow it.
you should be able to Follow the community once you see it, but if that doesn’t work you can try Following the hashtag #gothindustrial bc all posts from this community get that tag on mastodon.
ofc the formatting and interface is a bit wonky. like if there’s a bandcamp or youtube link you click on the toot once to see the full toot, then a second time to see the lemmy post’s text, then a third time to get to the music/video, then a fourth time to actually play the content. and I’m not sure if Mastodon replies/boosts/favorites are sent here. But still, the information gets out, and it’s a good advertisement for this community.
I think in theory it should work, since the recent lemmy.world upgrade. I’m still trying to figure it out tho. Here’s some info:
I tried in the last week but no luck.

However, this community is being federated from lemmy to at least one major mastodon instance: https://mastodon.social/@gothindustrial@lemmy.world

Yep I have an account on social and follow a few communities from there.
