I’ve actually got 2 questions, one about l.w and one about lemmy in general.

  1. I signed up yesterday and got an email to confirm my address but it’s not working. I’ve used the user I created, my email, and the user that was in my email and it’s not working. is it me or is it the server here at issue?

  2. I’ve also got a mastodon account. how do I create a post on any sub straight from there and not through a lemmy instance?

      Consider putting the mention at the end as the first line of your post will become the post title. So

      Lorem ipsum
      Text text text
      @lorem@ipsum

      On Mastodon will give you a lemmy post that looks like

      Title:

      Lorem ipsum

      Body:

      Text text text
      @lorem@ipsum

        You need to add line breaks to your example here. Otherwise you are giving some very bad advice.

              One single newline
Leads to no line break at all

Double space before the newline  
Should yield a line break

Double newline 

Leads to paragraph break
