      It would be better if lemmy/piefed supported treating mastodon posts as cross-postable, and better still if it auto-detected a link to a fediverse post and at least suggested a cross-post instead of a link post. Comments could turn into repiles, further cross-posts (or even the original) could show up as boosts or quote-toots, upvotes into stars.

      In particular, I want the 100s of MB of JS so that I can send David a star; I have the firefox extension that automatically finds the post from my home instance if I want to interact with it, since I’m on a personal computer and already singed-in to my home instance, the bookmarking action is almost transparent, tho it does cause a full-page load.

      i think this runs the same problem of how search engines adopting AI summaries are starving their sources of traffic

      Pls explain so I also don’t make same mistake. How is an avif upload more efficient than a pasted link?

          This is super backwards to me, isn’t a link just a string of characters whereas an image is like tons of strings basically?

            Yes, but you have to click the link and load a webpage, and a webpage (usually) has way more data than an image

        The image preview was cropped on Voyager. And maybe it’s my connection but i could watch the website building itself. Well, for 2 seconds at least – after the first 5 seconds of nothingness.
