So this is a test post you ask users to repost?
I think you misunderstood the request to “share” there. They’re most likely talking about boosts, Mastodon’s version of Twitter’s retweets. Lemmy, I think, doesn’t implement boosts. So it makes sense you would interpret it differently from the rest of the fediverse.
Basically, this isn’t a call to repost. It’s essentially just asking to upvote and boost and OP can then see from where those interactions came.
why should I not remove this from !fediverse?
It’s on topic and your community has no rule against test/experimental posts.
Your community might want some additional rules if these kinds of posts are undesired. Like a low effort rule maybe. Or a rule against posts asking for upvotes and similar actions. A quick look at lemmy.world’s site-wide rules didn’t look like such a rule is there.
I think it’s fine to use unique platform features like this, but if you’re actually using this actively, be aware that not everyone will see your titles as you intended them. It’s only Lemmy users that can see it actually render “properly”, everyone else just sees the plaintext Markdown symbols.
