On the left, the 404 Media Ghost account (@feed @404media.co), as viewed from my GotoSocial account, via Phanpy. On the right, the same account, as viewed from a Mastodon account, also via Phanpy.

What's interesting is that the GtS account displays the entire text of the article, while the Mastodon account only shows the preview and a link...

You can also follow the same account from PieFed, but currently there's nothing that comes up.

Mastodon has the same issue with Lemmy posts, it's an issue with different activity types. I think Mastodon posts are "notes" and Lemmy/Phanpy posts are "articles", so Mastodon won't fully render them because they don't really focus on compatibility with other platforms.

    These are both Phanpy. I think the difference is GtS vs. Mastodon.

    yes, and Mastodon has the same issue for Lemmy posts, it's just Mastodon being bad

    (yea "Phanpy posts" was incorrect by me, it's just posts from certain platforms)

    As much as I love Mastodon for what it has achieved, I have to also agree that it's bad . For many reasons, several of which are fundamental in nature. But I digress.
