From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The title is borked in Lemmy. It's just a portion of the body text, including link tags which don't work on titles. I think there are some formatting guides out there if you want to continue trying to post to Lemmy via Mastodon.
Edit: there's a Mastodon to Lemmy guide at the bottom of this post

@fedora @centos @linux that seems to work - similar to how @guppegroups works in that on the Mastodon side posts tagging the community address appear to get boosted, with a difference that you can read it in a Reddit like interface (with good threading 🧵!) if you have a Lemmy account as well.
It also appears that the first post has to tag the community, so tagging on a reply does not work. Good enough though.
The problem is a lot of entities like Fedora or CentOS want to be as loud as possible to attract a userbase. Lemmy and Mastodon are user-friendly, but they won't help Linux attract the masses
@OsrsNeedsF2P @michelin while we do want to be active on other social media platforms, Mastodon is actually our most active channel right now!
