Twice in the past fews days, I’ve gotten a reply from a Mastodon user complaining that I should have put the direct link to an article.

  • On Lemmy I posted the direct link to the article as usual
  • On their Mastodon feed, I appear as a Mastodon user that posted a link to a Lemmy thread

It seems that threadiverse posts are being seen by more mastodon users now, which is great, but maybe the formatting could use some improvements?

Example 1:

Example 2:

I know Mastodon got “quote posts” recently, is that related to this change?

Is Mastodon also getting a “group” view? That might be the best solution to the problem

    So a summary included in a non-Note is not CW’d by Mastodon currently.

    I know, I was just saying that it prevents a non-Note from being CW’d, as the summery is used as the post’s content.

      I suppose, although in that scenario theoretically one could add as:sensitive to mark the status as CW’d? I don’t think CW logic is even run for non-Notes at the moment, though I could be mistaken.

        Masto interprets a Note set as as:sensitive without a summary to mean ‘blur any media attached, but don’t collapse the text content’. I believe the same is true for non-Notes, but obviously without the summary = CW logic.
