   It is a bit crazy to me that links to toots don't open in the official web client for Mastodon, but in a new tab, so that you have to

   - copy the URL
   - paste it into search
   - and then click to open it

   if you want to open it in your client and be able to like, retoot or comment.

   This breaks the whole interoperability point of ActivityPub a bit too much, to my liking.

     yes, this is a pain. What you are describing is basically a "quote post" which mastodon does not support.

     There are other services that do support via #fep-e232

     @JsonCulverhouse Well, they didn't have to be shown in a quote post-like way for the links to be clickable in a logical way. But yes, thankfully other clients have this worked out. But most people, especially most new users, will use the official client
