It will be perfect, once they fix the HTML formatting in the subject :)

When you write from Friendica (or another social network) to post on Lemmy, you must respect some basic rules.
Here I tried to write a handbook (in Italian) to help users write posts that have a readable title and work well
Furthermore, as regards the titles, you must take into account that Lemmy only interprets up to 200 characters; when exceeding 200 characters, the title is truncated. To count the characters, however, you have to consider the BBCode characters of the source text, which are converted into Markdown in Lemmy. So you have to be careful that "marked" text strings don't end up at the 200th character! Here are some additional notes:
Not quite what I meant. I don't use Mastodon. I was referring to the fact that some posts from Mastodon users are showing up on my lemmy instance with mark-up displayed in the subject line.
But that's because I haven't updated my lemmy instance to the latest version :)
This has been fixed already, otherwise you would see HTML in the title of this post as well.
Yep! I was still seeing it on my instance because I haven't updated yet

And, instance upgraded!
The formatting works perfect my instance, v0.17.2. Do you still need to upgrade?
Looks like we do :)
@JackFromWisconsin indeed! great to see Lemmy improving its compatibility
Lemmy has to make workarounds, because mastodon does not support subjects...
🙄🤫
Would be great to see subject lines supported in Mastodon. Anything that helps intercompatibiity is a win-win
