    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

      YouTube videos cannot be embedded. At least not yet.

        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.

                Fwiw, though the media didn’t embed for me, they all did show up as links.

                  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
