For a long time, users have been able to submit microblog-style posts to link-aggregator subs (a.k.a. subcommunity, community, magazine, etc.). Some platforms such as mbin require you to select one for your post. Previously, I’ve thought this sub selection as a special hashtag for the post. However, I’ve recently been reminded that posts actually show up in communities as full-on threads. So what do you (or the threadi gods) consider to be proper etiquette in selecting a proper sub to make your microblog post to? There’s always !random, but that feels kinda worthless…
If you’re going to post it to a Lemmy community, I would that that that should be considered long before you reach the “post” button. Like if you’re going to share a link or write a text post, you should already be familiar with a community in mind. Please don’t post something to a community as an afterthought, especially if it’s not really that relevant.
