A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Probably bc Mastodon toots don't have a post title, so it looks like Lemmy just uses the first x-many characters from the toot body, which includes some markdown links.

So I guess either mastodon would need to add some custom code that detects a Lemmy federated post and prompts its user for a title, Or Lemmy would need to detect that it's a mastodon toot and add some sort of generic title like "Cross toot from Mastodon"
