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

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.
