Given what it's gonna do to the world economy when the bubble will burst I think it's better if we drop all references to intelligence and just start calling it subprime computing

If you're using Tusky, and a post contains a link to another Fediverse post, and you tap the link, Tusky figures out it's a Fediverse post and displays the post within the client instead of sending you to the website. If you're using Mastodon Ruby this does not happen. You have to do this awkward thing of copying the link and then pasting it into the search box and hitting return.

Maybe I should have used Mastodon Sapphire.

@mcc unfortunately you can't delay opening a link on the web, if we were to implement the same logic it would fail awkwardly for everything that is not a resolvable fediverse link

@Claire @mcc would it be possible to check server-side for the fediverseness of a link, and if that is the case, replace the display link with a version proxied through the local instance, with a specific icon/style to help distinguish it?

@mathieui @Claire I believe this would result in the hug of death problem but worse

@mcc @mathieui depending on how it's done, yeah

but like if the authoring side can annotate the link as “this is an ActivityPub object”, the receiving side can at least store the information, and the on-demand approach is more likely to succeed

this is one of the things we are exploring
