It would be better if lemmy/piefed supported treating mastodon posts as cross-postable, and better still if it auto-detected a link to a fediverse post and at least suggested a cross-post instead of a link post. Comments could turn into repiles, further cross-posts (or even the original) could show up as boosts or quote-toots, upvotes into stars.
In particular, I want the 100s of MB of JS so that I can send David a star; I have the firefox extension that automatically finds the post from my home instance if I want to interact with it, since I’m on a personal computer and already singed-in to my home instance, the bookmarking action is almost transparent, tho it does cause a full-page load.
No need to render 100s MB of JS, just to see a two-panel meme.

i think this runs the same problem of how search engines adopting AI summaries are starving their sources of traffic
Pls explain so I also don’t make same mistake. How is an avif upload more efficient than a pasted link?
Link loads large data. Image loads small data.
Why use many data when few data do trick?
