I'm Sarah. I'm a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can't do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

Experiment. What do you see if you’re reading this from Mastodon or one of its clones?


That was the title. This is the body text. Does this show too?

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.

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.
