Commands/formatting for posting to Lemmy from Mastodon

How can I start a new post to a Lemmy community and avoid it looking like crap?

In particular I'm looking for how to get the post title to be a link to article or other webpage and to get an to show in the body.

What I have been doing makes it look like just a text link in the body for both.

"They thought they could get away with passing the minority map, but it was so egregious, it was so wrong, that it was too shameless even for the UCP to do that," Nenshi said.
