Proposing that Lemmy or Kbin could substitute for Reddit while not acknowledging that lack of search makes it impossible to find the appropriate groups in a decentralized maze of servers is very on-brand for the Mastodon crowd.

I'm not sure why Mastodon posts always end up looking so bad on Lemmy. The title is always gored and the post always has hashtags that do nothing in Lemmy. Just because they're technically cross compatible doesn't mean they should be.

Mostly because the people writing them don't understand how their post will be parsed, and the post lives simultaneously on Lemmy / Kbin and Mastodon.

Lemmy just takes the first paragraph from the post as the title. So if the poster knows that, they can format it like:

Title title title
