Is your proposal related to a problem?

Today, the opening posts in a Lemmy thread are displayed as a title and a link to the original post by microblogging software. I have raised this issue in the past with both you and the Friendica developers.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Friendica can produce both "article" and "page" posts, but it had the same problem when producing "page" posts: a microblogging user could only see the title and a link to the original post.

Today Friendica has overcome this problem, granting the individual user the possibility to choose in which format to send "page" type posts.

Would it be possible to implement a similar feature on Lemmy as well?

Describe alternatives you've considered.

At the moment the alternative I practice is to write with Friendica the posts I publish on the Lemmy communities

Additional context

The problem occurs with many microblogging software, but fortunately Pleroma and Misskey are now able to correctly display "page" type posts. Obviously the problem, as usual, is related to Mastodon, its forks and the software inspired by it, which do not fully respect Activitypub standards.

However, I believe that those who publish a post from Lemmy deserve to be displayed by the Mastodon audience, which is currently the largest in the free Fediverse. At the moment I believe that only an effort by Lemmy developers could contribute to solving this problem

This is only a problem with Mastodon, it could easily display Lemm's Page objects the same way it does for Notes (by showing the content and with a "show more" button if necessary). Im not willing to make the Lemmy code, api and user interface more complicated only because the Mastodon devs are unable to fix this simple issue.
