      Here was the best tutorial I could find for it.

      You can create posts in Lemmy communities by tagging the community account
      (It should be a public post)
      If the community account is tagged with @, it will share the post and the post will also appear in the forum.
      For example, this is a post I created from Mastodon in feddit’s #Tischtennis forum: metalhead.club/@caos/112749905… … and this is how it is displayed in Lemmy: feddit.org/post/556495

      The only thing to note from Mastodon and Akkoma etc. is: The beginning of the post/the first paragraph becomes the title of the forum post, as Mastodon does not have a heading field. (see also: Instructions Creating a post from Mastodon)

      So it is best to start the post like this (see image 1):

      This is my headline (as descriptive a title as possible)
      @community@lemmy-instance
      This is the further text, link etc.
      if necessary a picture (only in the initial post a picture is transferred from Mastodon to Lemmy, between Lemmy and Friendica all images in answers are transferred in the meantime)

        hey do you happen to have more info on this? trying to figure out why it doesn’t always work

        it seems like a third of the replies get lost between instances and never arrive
