@CiaraNi @EvilCartyen English is allowed in the rules, as pointed out by Carsten. This would be kind of dealbreaker for me, as it's still difficult for me to read in Danish. Writing would be somewhere between embarrassing and illegible. Having a mix of languages helps me slowly increase my Danish intake. I think I'm not the only one in such situation ("there are literally dozens of us!")
I wouldn't want to flood with English posts, though.
Also, rules say that federation is enabled — so it's expected and accepted.
As to what and how to crosspost — probably we'll see some clarifications in community rules ans etiquette. Something like "I just ate a sandwich in # Aarhus" isn't worth a community post. A nice "postcard from Aarhus" is, i'd argue.
Thing like "please add first line as title, the rest will be body when tooting from Masto" are tiny details that can be figured out.
Sorry if my enthusiasm about crossposting caused you to get confused or upset.

@EvilCartyen @aarhus @CiaraNi right, yes, i think that's it! It seems that replies are ignored in order not to spam Lemmy with posts.
@EvilCartyen @dzm @CiaraNi you are right. Mastodon clients hide the server name by default, so it looks a bit confusing in the beginning.
@EvilCartyen yes, @CiaraNi's photos (and an accidental swan coming out from H.C.A's tale to check up on descendants) will definitely embellish the place.
Ciara, could you try tagging not just the #Aarhus hashtag, but also the feddit community by mentioning @[email protected]?
@EvilCartyen @dzm learn something new every day.
Well, maybe we can use this fact to liven up the community a bit.
@[email protected] and if someone absolutely needs to dualboot, #openSuse installer will gladly help you set up encryption for the rest of the disk.
When i tried to do this a few years ago all other distributions that i tried just plain refused to do it. Either encrypt the whole disk, or nothing at all. OpenSuse did it without an issue.
@CiaraNi @dzm @EvilCartyen it seems that you are comfortable with Mastodon approach :)
For me it's too ephemeral, as posts, replies, and boosts take pretty much same appearance and just wash away things that i might want to revisit later. The forum format really speaks to me.
Yet this niche that I've carved here on Masto feels very nice, letting me observe fun and nice people. Feddit (Aarhus community) is emptier for now.
Maybe all we need here is not to make people remember details of different software systems (software should be boring and easy), but a bot that would let us translate things like Ciara's nice postcards into suitable posts on feddit.
