You @ed the lemmy community for framework, not a mastodon account ๐
For those seeing this on lemmy who don't understand, this is a post on mastodon, but op accidentally @ed the lemmy community, so it shows up as a post on lemmy. Its like if you tweeted something but @ed the relevant subreddit so it showed up there as a reddit post also
(Also: Mastodon is bigger than lemmy and often has more permissive image hosting, so sometimes its useful to use a mastodon server's image hosting to post on lemmy if your lemmy instance has convoluted rules about image uploads that are hard to manage, especially from mobile. Just @ the complete name of the lemmy community on an image post via mastodon and it gets posted as a lemmy post to that community. The first line of text becomes the title, the rest of the text becomes the body of the post)
@Cris_Color ๐คฏ wwwwwaaaaa? I'm like, what's a lemmy? Who are they? I mean, how did they get here? Or were they always here, and we/I just didn't know they walked among us? Are they tiny or invisible? Did I step on one by mistake?
I have no idea what's going on here.

Lemmy is the fediverse equivalent of reddit ๐
For folks viewing your post on lemmy it looks like you posted an ad for framework to the framework "subreddit", called a community here. But if you look at the account that posted, they'll see your account is on a mastodon server.
If you edit your post and look at the full address of framework you @ed you'll see you @ed the lemmy community, and not a mastodon account dedicated to framework
@Cris_Color Thanks for the description of what took place. Is this now a non-issue, or is this still something generating consternation somewhere? Yes, I copied what I understood to be a handle taken from a quick search of Framework, but I didn't realize how prone a Mastodon post can be to unintended messaging. I may have inadvertently become a pariah among the Lemmists for my message crafting faux pas. I hope it isn't an ongoing frustration for people over there. No bad intentions from me! โ๏ธ
