A screenshot of the previous post as it shows up in Mastodon on Firefox. The link to my post is blue and says "sauropods.win/@futurebird/1126... " no hint of what it might contain. Martin Howitt i @martinhowitt@urbanists.social Wonder what @futurebird sees when i do this as it may be a feature of the instance they are on? sauropods.win/@futurebird/1126... Jun 19, 2024, 09:15

Here is a screenshot of what I see. And this is even more wild because links to YouTube, and to tumblr and many other sites will show an image if there is one and a short summary of the post being linked.
But if you link to the fedi it's kind of censored down to just a cryptic link (that will take you to a different server where you can't post or reply nearly always)
It's almost adversarial design to avoid anything "quote boost like"
