This community is experimental. It follows people on Mastodon (for now, lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social and MrLovenstein@mastodon.social) and publishes their posts here, keeping them as the author.

This has several advantages over someone else screenshotting their posts and sharing them lemmy, including efficiency, accessibility, searchability and credit, as well as the fact that if you - as a lemmy user - comment on a post, it will go to the original author.

Note 1: As the sidebar mentions, posts and downvotes aren't supported. In practise it means they'll be removed / reverted.

Note 2: It's also possible to follow people on lemmy, of course, but I sense that duplicating their posts here might get annoying
