I'll probably join in later to give my 2 cents as a new threadiverse user.

but I have to say I agree with the decentralized nature is a UX headache. simply because if someone isn't linking in the right format, I'll be kicked out of my instance and suddenly I can't comment anymore.

it's better in mobile apps. and there's probably browser extensions to help. but still.

Hasn't Mbin solved that with their last release?

Inline Previews of linked posts

We added rich rendering of activity pub entities. That may sound very technical, but the gist of it is: if you mention a user or a magazine we will now render a component for it, with the avatar, the name, the hover preview, etc.

We did the same for threads, microblogs and comments. So when you put the "original URL" (ActivityPub id) in your post we will now render an inline preview of that post.
