Lemmy community for EF
I’ve been looking for ways to use the Fediverse to better share & coordinate stuff for conventions - and EF in particular because that’s where I’ll be next month.
We already have hashtags, but they can be chaotic to browse, so how about a Lemmy community?

You can either post via the website, or make a post like this one from Mastodon. If you follow the account, you should see all posts on your timeline.
CC @eurofurence
@eurofurence Aha! Figured it out :blobcatthonking:
To post from Mastodon, you literally have to end your post with that CC on a separate line (see my previous post). The first line of your post will become the title on Lemmy.
It’s pretty neat though! For example, if you’re an artist and want to make an announcement about something at the Dealer’s Den, you can post here and add that CC, and it’ll show up in the Lemmy community where people can see even if they’re not following you.
@kianga @eurofurence i didn’t even know that was possible! Nice!
@cato @eurofurence The magic of ActivityPub!
