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:
- My post: https://lemmy.ca/comment/19153240
- How they see it: https://sfba.social/@otters_raft@lemmy.ca/115267196743748430
Example 2:
- My post: https://lemmy.ca/comment/19202083
- How they see it: https://mas.to/@otters_raft@lemmy.ca/115283224174559468
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
Lemmy devs have been ass about which “link” they should link to.
Their rss even points to the thread link in both link and comment tags, afaik.
