how do I create a post in Mastodon that can go to a Lemmy community (lemmy.ml)

I would like to post news articles to the lemmy.ml Palestine community from Mastodon. I have read that I only need a flair [News] in the title and the mention of @[email protected] in the body of the post. However, that hasn't seemed to work.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :-)

No flair. What you need is:

<post title> @community@instance
<line break>
<post body>

Edit: to those downvoting: If you think what I am saying is wrong, how about giving a better answer?

Here is a Mastodon Post and here is how it ended up in Lemmy (The NSFW tag was because I mistakenly tried to add the title as a content warning)

You were correct about flair - doesn’t help with Masto-to-lemmy. Thanks. (last night I posted this in the wrong place. It's where I want it now.) :-)
