You will notice that underneath some links shared on Mastodon, the author byline can be clicked to open the author’s associated fediverse account, right in the app. This highlights writers and journalists that are active on the fediverse, and makes it easier than ever to follow them and keep up with their future work—potentially across different publications.
The handle can be any fediverse account, not just Mastodon. That includes Flipboard, Threads, WordPress (with the ActivityPub plugin installed), PeerTube, Pixelfed, and many others.
We need a similar feature for shitpoaters IMHO
They need the bean can icon
the byline on my shitpost links directly to a chimmichanga
never gonna give you up
This is good, i’m glad to see the Fediverse grow
I’m not sure how I feel about it. Don’t want this to cause “share” bots networks which will pump particular posters. Next logical think to do is to start showing more from those posters, which will kill the hole point of consuming content from fediverse for me. I don’t want to see same things from same people. I want diverse content from different posters
