Yeah that is true, though in my experience from posting things from mastodon it's not as bad as one might think. While you generally should include a title sentence separate from the rest of the post if you don't it'll just use the first sentence you write as the title. The biggest problem with Microblog content in Lemmy is the community mention, since if that is in the same area as the title it'll look messed up. I think if enough people become aware of that it would help since they could just put the mention towards the bottom. Maybe even with group support mentioning the group will become not a thing anymore and will be replaced with native functionality to post to a group.
Even though some content will likely look out of place I don't think it'll cause much of an issue since it'll only intermingle in groups, content outside of groups will still be the same Mastodon content, and Lemmy communities will likely enforce proper posting etiquette for Mastodon users even if they don't do it in groups. For that reason I don't really see it becoming a serious problem.
