Yup, this happens at some point after someone on your instance has favorited, bookmarked or shared the post. There is also a user-agent component to the equation - i.e., it doesn't just automagically happen as soon as someone other than you does it, your user agent has to refresh the post.

A post and a link. Iirc, there's no work around for quote-tooting
in reply to Charles ☭ H

@Charles ☭ H This is not a quote. It’s just an ordinary post but with the title field filled in (I usually leave it blank)
in reply to Sarah Brown

On Tusky it is very confusing but it does technically contain all the information

'That was the title.
This is the body text.
Does this show too...'
Odd colours...
in reply to Denis Buckley

@Denis Buckley Thanks. Didn’t include any colours so that’s happening somewhere else.

This is red, however.
And this is green.

I don’t see much difference from the Mastodon web. I guess the text format you used is not supported by Mastodon.

Result from, not a Mastodon clone, but #Misskey. Not sure which side is producing the Amazon-listing style Unicode black lenticular brackets.

The title and a link to the post with the rest of the message.
in reply to Sarah Brown

Thanks for your help everyone. This confirms to me that I should keep leaving the title blank. It really doesn’t federate well.
in reply to Sarah Brown

Seems to work correctly. The link is visible and works.

Firefox on Ubuntu desktop.

The title "What do you see if you’re reading this from Mastodon or one of its clones?" acts as a link, to the post it's in.

I suspect I'm not used to seeing posts with titles. Is that expected behaviour for them? If it is, I apologise for wasting your time.

@SftwareTheron I wouldn’t have asked what people saw if I thought them telling me would be wasting my time!

This does present a handy way for long form blog posts that preserve formatting though, essentially forcing a click through for software that doesn’t support rich content.

Via mastodon.social and 'toot tui'.
(In general, Friendica posts often look like arse through this combination; I haven't tried to diagnose this.)

@Steve Lord That works much better than Mastodon!

What pretty much everybody else has posted.
When I click the link, I get "this site can't be reached".
