Question, what client are you using to post? Your post tiyle on lemmy reads like this.
"<p>Hello new people joining the <a href=“https://social.wake.st/tags/Mastodon” class=“mention hashta”
I have seen this before but have no idea why its formatted that way
They’re using mastodon it looks like, idk why posts from there show up like this though, this isn’t the first one I’ve seen.
Probably bc Mastodon toots don’t have a post title, so it looks like Lemmy just uses the first x-many characters from the toot body, which includes some markdown links.
So I guess either mastodon would need to add some custom code that detects a Lemmy federated post and prompts its user for a title, Or Lemmy would need to detect that it’s a mastodon toot and add some sort of generic title like “Cross toot from Mastodon”

Does this response also do that? I don’t generally see markup on my comments when I click through to beehaw but maybe it shows up for some users and not others?
Only if I go to reply then jerboa shows the full markdown text for the hyperlinks to our @'s but just browsing it’s just the hyperlink. On beehaw itself it’s just hyperlinks regardless.
@eric5949 So for now it probably seems safe to reply as normal, and simply ensure that there aren’t tags in the post title when posting to a community, is what I’m thinking then.
Yeah that sounds about right. I’m sure the title thing will be fixed at some point though.
