[Meta] I think posting Mastodon links to toots that does not contain photos only should be allowed and encouraged here. (reddthat.com)

It just came to my knowledge that lemmy crawler display the content of the mastodon post when you post it as a link in lemmy posts.

Which make me think about the cost savings for every server that can apply this and save the costs of serving photos.

What does the Mod here think?

Edit 1: after testing the lemmy crawler crawl Bluesky, Mastodon and Nostr, so all what I said can also be applied to other microblog services.

Edit 2: Just wanted to add that it will also enhance accessibility for users.

I think you did not understand me, check out this post to see how it would look, as I said you don't need to leave the app to check the content.

On the Lemmy app I'm using that doesn't display correctly.

And then also just in a browser, it's not the same as an image link.

Thank you again for the suggestion, but this community will remain images only, and you can put a link in the description. That is the only way to ensure everyone gets a consistent experience regardless of how they access Lemmy.
