        Probably bc Mastodon toots don’t have a post title, so it looks like Lemmy just uses the first x-many characters from the toot body, which includes some markdown links.

          So I guess either mastodon would need to add some custom code that detects a Lemmy federated post and prompts its user for a title, Or Lemmy would need to detect that it’s a mastodon toot and add some sort of generic title like “Cross toot from Mastodon”

          Only if I go to reply then jerboa shows the full markdown text for the hyperlinks to our @'s but just browsing it’s just the hyperlink. On beehaw itself it’s just hyperlinks regardless.

          this is what it looks like on jerboa

            @eric5949 So for now it probably seems safe to reply as normal, and simply ensure that there aren’t tags in the post title when posting to a community, is what I’m thinking then.
