Realized that the #TwitterMigration is like going from beta testing the Fediverse to production

Just like a public beta always turns up issues that were missed during development, going to production you suddenly have a *huge* pool of new users who are going to use the system in ways you didn't anticipate and haven't already accustomed themselves to its quirks.

And that turns up a lot more things you need to fix!

But it does show embedded posts when you quote them.

Nevermind. It used to. Now it just shows a little card with the user's name. Not too helpful.

Actually, maybe it doesn't show yours because it's CWed, which makes sense. Let me try this one.

Edit: seems like sometimes it works, sometimes not.

@danjones000 This is weird -- Pinafore is showing me the preview card on your post quoting yourself, but both the public page on Fosstodon or my server's web app only show the link.

I wonder if Fosstodon is running a fork or has a patch that adds more useful metadata to the public page
