For the future, it’s probably best to post to Lemmy communities from a Lemmy, kbin, or Friendica account; otherwise you risk the formatting of your message getting badly messed up, as it has here. It’s cool that you can post here from Mastodon but that doesn’t make it a good idea.
It would also have helped if you included some description with your link.
You can actually write posts from a Mastodon account that look well on Lemmy. All you have to do is follow a few basic rules.
Your post must include a line break. Everything above the break will be converted into the title of the post, everything below into the body.
Don’t put any hyperlinks into your title. That includes hashtags and @ mentions. See the original post for why
Keep your headline short. Lemmy has a character limit for the headline and if you exceed it your title might just end mid sentence
Put the @ mention of the community at the end of your post. It’s nothing but a technical necessity, so treat it as such and hide it away at the bottom of your post
If you follow these rules you can write posts from Mastodon
On May 29, 1787, The “Virginia Plan” written by #JamesMadison was proposed by VA #Governor Edmond Randolph, and included the proposal “... that the members of the first branch of the National Legislature ought to be elected by the people of the several States [and] to be of the age of _____ years at least …”.
Madison’s proposal literally had a ‘blank’ for how old a member of the #HouseofRepresentatives should be.
What was the decision of the Convention?
A. 25 years
B. 30 years
C. 35 years

The Constitution Quiz of the Week is made in collaboration with Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at James Madison's Montpelier.
In Aug. 1828, the Madisons’ friend Margaret Bayard Smith wrote a vivid description of her visit to #Montpelier :
“The drawing-room walls are covered with pictures, some very fine, from the ancient masters, but most of them portraits of our most distinguished men, six or eight by Stewart...
"...The mantlepiece, tables in each corner and in fact wherever one could be fixed, were filled with busts, and groups of figures in plaster, so that this apartment had more the appearance of a museum of the arts than of a drawing room.”

gibt es hier bestimmte hashtags mit denen es sich besser miteinander vernetzen lässt? / hab mich schon vor längerem angemeldet, war aber so inaktiv das das #neuhier noch zählt 😅 und gehen hier threads wie bei twitter? also direkt weiteren tweet anhängen? (tröt anhängen klingt echt unfein 🤭)
@darth That’s exactly what I have done 10 years ago. Got a good PC, and setup year after year all emulators for games I owned or I am interested in. In my opinion, those games are part of our culture, and they should be freely available to anyone at some point. It’s really a shame that doing so is illegal, but we cannot rely on those corporations to keep video game history safe.
We did Elder Scrolls tier lists on Discord so I figured I'd share my terrible opinion on here.
Honestly, Morrowind could probably drop down one slot, but I'm too nostalgic for it. I think each game does something different really well. I don't think there's a "best" TES game.
OMG I might be having a revelation.
I found my high school leaving book the other day and it has this page in it where my friends wrote down the phrases I'd said through my entire high school - I said them so often (multiple times a day every day) that they became a "thing."
Now wondering if this is an #ActuallyAutistic thing cos I'm the same now though many of the phrases have changed.
My old name is on the top (I changed it in the alt text) - please ignore!
What got me out of that was realizing that what other people did to me wasn't as bad as what I'd been doing myself - accepting the blame for what they'd done, because it had to be something wrong with me. I've been working on that - not blaming myself, not beating myself up. If I was an ass, sure, I'll own that, and I'll apologize, but if I was just being my autistic self and they reacted badly, that's on them, not me.
@news whomever runs the News bot, could you please stop boosting every single reply to every last post? I only want to see the initial News posts in my feed, not all of the replies.
Stands to perfect reason. Lemmings are essentially large rodents, mastadons are essentially large elephants, elephants don’t get along with mice, mastadons don’t get along with lemmings. Science!
