@misk I think your federation software is broken. In Mastodon, the urls in your posts just lead back to themselves every time, not out to an external article.

It's all Fediverse. You can follow things on lemmy on mastodon and vice versa and so on.

I’m aware but the degree of compatibility differs. Lemmy to Mastodon is pretty smooth but subOP is using some different microblogging platform it seems.

@mighty_orbot @misk I'm using Friendica. From here, the links are normal. As it's also not Lemmy, I guess it's a Mastodon-specific (or even instance-specific) problem.

I'm not sure if you'll get this reply @mighty_orbot@retro.pizza, but here's the link visible from Lemmy itself: https://tuta.com/blog/digital-fingerprinting-worse-than-cookies.

Your method of accessing this Lemmy community seems not to be working on your side somehow. You might try a different app - I've never used Mastodon so I don't know what might work.

@OpenStars That was my point. I can open the post on its own server and see it as intended. But the federation part of the Lemmy (?) software is clearly not generating the right data.

What is it like, reading Lemmy on Mastodon? Is it like one post with many replies? Or do they nest like in Lemmy?

[-] mighty_orbot@retro.pizza 1 points 2 days ago

@sem In Mastodon, Lemmy posts show up as just the post, with no replies.

@mighty_orbot@retro.pizza

What I mean is, the link in a Lemmy community when viewed from a Lemmy instance works just fine. So it's not broken at that level.

I can't speak to how it comes across to Mastodon, or your particular method of access to that, as you showed in your screenshot. In general, instances running the Mbin software seem to work better to access both Lemmy and Mastodon, but overall communication between Mastodon and Lemmy seems not perfect, as you said.

@mighty_orbot@retro.pizza @misk@sopuli.xyz same thing happens for me, i use sharkey on my instance (misskey fork) and i have to go to that linked post and click the link there to access it
