Please Don’t Share Our Links on Mastodon: Here’s Why!

We need to talk about this problem. Should Mastodon step up?
So, Mastodon is a nice escape from the big tech social media platforms. […]

3️⃣ In wenigen Minuten hatte ich dann notfallmässig mit Caching davor aufgesetzt und damit flutschte alles. (Bis auf Safari-Requests; die fixte ich dann aber etwas später.)

➡️ Wer sich eine Webseite aufsetzt, sollte die testweise mal mit ein paar Requests bombardieren. Und wenn nötig Caching aufsetzen (was auch -Requests cacht). Dann ist sie bereit. Sonst nicht.

is a format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL on third party sites.

Nerdy and question.

Why can't I send an "Accept: application/json+oembed" request to a URl to receive the oEmbed version?

Instead, I have to request the full page, look for the <link>, parse that, then request the oEmbed.

Seems inefficient - but am I missing something?

@Gargron This should probably be a suggestion on Github, but shouldn’t ​s from e.g. also support portrait mode similar to uploaded photos?

For example https://mastodon.social/@aslakr/110904032874948549 only shows square preview. Even square photos https://mastodon.social/@aslakr/110818611849002112 are shown as a rather small preview while landscape isn’t https://mastodon.social/@aslakr/110930242375794631

I've added to https://openbenches.org/

I don't know if anyone still uses oEmbed - but I like to keep those old open standards alive waiting for a better, more interoperable time.

Does anyone know if posts from Pleroma/Akkoma can be embedded?

This closed issue from three years ago suggests this should be possible, but I can't seem to get this to work. Unless this is not typically enabled on instances?

I'm looking into embedding fediverse posts and I see that out of the major platforms, only Mastodon and Peertube support embedding via iframes.

Some of the platforms should at least support oEmbed, but I can't seem to get this to work.

Does anyone know more about this?

🆕 blog! “WebMentions, Privacy, and DDoS - Oh My!”

Mastodon - the distributed social network - has two interesting challenges when it comes to how users share links. I'd like to discuss those issues and suggest a possible way forward. When you click on a link on my website which takes you to another website, your browser sends a Referer1. This says to …

Further to the above blog post, whenever my bot posts to Mastodon, my site gets hit by multiple hits for its info.

There really needs to be a (decentralised!) cache for this sort of info.
