Commands/formatting for posting to Lemmy from Mastodon

How can I start a new post to a Lemmy community and avoid it looking like crap?

In particular I'm looking for how to get the post title to be a link to article or other webpage and to get an to show in the body.

What I have been doing makes it look like just a text link in the body for both.

@Fu@hostux.social Sadly Mastodon isn't really ideal for posting to Lemmy.

In the federated ActivityPub document, the URL of a Lemmy link post is just a link attachment. So if Mastodon allows you to add arbitrary attachments not limited to images, then maybe there is a way. But otherwise you're probably out of luck there.
