    dang, I was hoping this would create an actual linked post on Lemmy instead of a text post with the link inside

    maybe that can’t be done from Mastodon

        ah ok, good to know!

        the text post w/ link inside is still pretty cool from other fediverse applications anyway

          But I am curious how embedded media like images, videos and audio look like for you on Mastodon.

          These are all nicely embedded on Lemmy. At least on the website.

            @user224 @retronet tried both the Mastodon website in firefox and also Mona (MacOS client) and I get… nothing

            (trying my own screenshots from Mastodon (Mona) to see how those appear)

              welp I’m back on Lemmy and I see my Mastodon screenshots didn’t come over? :(

                So I guess only option is direct links. It is good idea to include those anyway for compatibility.

                  Are you going through the website or some app?

                  I tested it with these:
                  Opera 74 (Android 11): Works
                  Firefox 104 (Manjaro): Works
                  Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 7): Doesn’t format the website correctly, though media was embedded into the mess

                @user224 @retronet I guess media just straight up doesn’t federate

                oh well its still cool to be able to view, reply, or submit text between systems for now
