Thanks a lot for your help. You are right about placement of community - I have mine way down in the post, but it is before other non-Lemmy groups.
One silly error I made when I started testing was that I tried to send the message non-public, so I wouldn't send garbage to Mastodon followers. That didn't work for getting it to Lemmy - I had to have my test post be public before I started seeing them in test lemmy.ml.
Also, I found that putting "[News]" in front of the title in Mastodon post doesn't carry over well to Lemmy, so I don't do that now.
Here is my simple prototype:
Title of news article
text, text
URL of article
hashtags (too many)
@palestine AT lemmy.ml (but entered correctly there)
2 more @ mentions to gup.pe groups
================
Thanks again for your posts!
Glad to help!!
