How to create a post from an external fediverse account? (lemmy.ml)

I see that I can comment on a post from an external account, and I also see that I can even make an external account a moderator in a community I administer. The question is, how can an external account create a post in a community it is subscribed to? Does that account have to create an account in the lemmy instance and login first?

A lemmy post, being a link aggregator, has other fields that twitter-type services don't have in their simple notes. IE, a post title, link, body, etc.

Issue for this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2590
