What's the etiquette for posting #mastodon or other federated posts on some of the other reddit-analogues?

Honestly it rules and I love it. Crosspost from pixelfed and loops and mastodon and anything that interops via activitypub. My number one complaint about fedi is the lack of content, so c’mon in, the water’s fine.

Etiquette proposal
A good etiquette would be to have something resembling a title, a bit like my comment. Lemmy has a limit on how much of the toot is displayed as title until it cuts it off mid sentence.
But is that actually something the users of those platforms want?
So far, greatly appreciated.

Yes, go ahead.
Keep the hashtags and @ bits towards the end, as you did here, and PieFed will more reliably generate the post title.

There are lots of good suggestions already. If you want to explore how the different threadiverse platforms display your posts, look into Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, and NodeBB.
kbin.socialno longer exists but the project has continued as Mbin. For fediverse discussion communities you have !fediverse@lemmy.world (on Lemmy), !fediverse@piefed.social (on Piefed), !activitypub@community.nodebb.org (nodeBB) -
Usually just put the link tkbtge original post if IRS not a true Crosspost is good enough.
I usually @ the original poster as well to let them know the conversation is over here, but its not completely nessessary.

I like seeing posts from Mastodon and other microblogs over here. Just keep the first line clean, it's the post title on the threadiverse.
I've started posting on PieFed lately, and with the ability to set hashtags for my posts, I'm already seeing more comments from Mastodon than when I posted from Lemmy before.
Love federation between different services.

Not sure if you've already checked, but here's how your post looks to us on Lemmy:

Nothing like etiquette but if you want your post to be readable, some best practice:
Have a shortish first paragraph that would be the title of the post on the threadiverse. Mind that it will also appear as the first paragraph in the content of the post.Your toot must not be an answer or it won't fediverse. All answers to your fediversing toot on the twittoverse side should be consider comment on the threadiverse side. But depending on how well both instances are federating, not every answer might show up both sides.
Usually, first level answer toots fediverse well into Lemmy (and I supposed to any threadiverse software) but not all Lemmy fist level comment reach the twittoverse. Deeper answers might fediverse or not fediverse depending on too many factors for us to expect too see them.If you want to have a rich conversations, and interact fully back to people answering you, you better have also a threadiverse account.
And a rule of thumb to ensure federation of a community to your instance, whether you're also on the threadiverse or you're on the twittoverse, is to subscribe to the community before posting anything.
If noone from your instance is subscribe the federation barely exist and you can't be sure that posts are share between instances.Here is a community dedicated to the kind of test you're doing: !testfediverse@jlai.lu

Also, I haven't done test on the lastest software version but edits didn't fediversed back then.

Thanks! Looks like the comments are visible in both the mastodon and Lemmy instances. Good work devs!
