Thanks for the answer and the confirmation.

You're right about it being the default on #Mastodon, but it can be changed now. mastodon.social now sends a simple referrer and where's the harm on a bigger platform with many different users?

Here's a nice explanation for why it could help adoption and help with the visibility of a platform like lemmy.wotld without making users unsafe:

@caos

Das klingt alles danach, dass es besser wäre, dafür einen eigenen Account (wenn auch auf unserer Mastodon-Instanz) einzurichten. Der könnte dann mit Vorschaubildern arbeiten etc..

@Lemmchen

Ja, aber der ist ja nicht von uns..

@D_a_X

Ah ja, ich sehe. Danke. Bleibt die Frage, ob man dieses Vorschaubild auch "von außen" (sprich von #Mastodon) aus erstellen lassen kann..

@squirrel

Ah interessant, Danke für den Hinweis!

@D_a_X

Nein, geht auch nicht um Blind mit der Gießkanne. Aber vielleicht so die Topmeldungen oder halt ausgewählte Sachen..

@D_a_X @heiseonline

Getestet hab ich das schonmal, ich wusste, dass das prinzipiell geht.

Die Frage ist halt, spricht etwas dagegen, ab und zu über unseren Mastodon-Account direkt Artikellinks (auch) auf Lemmy zu verbreiten oder würde dasvielleicht als aufdringlich gewertet?

@woelkchen

Honestly, please tell me more about how I can commercialize this posts. This would make it easier for me to justify all I'm doing here out of interest and goodwill towards #Mastodon etc. Mainly in my freetime, if I may add... (I'm using this account, because this is the one for technical stuff and it has greater reach)

I didn't "mindlessly" tag the Lemmy community, but because I knew, that otherwise it would be very difficult to spread over there.

@woelkchen

Isn't this directly about the #Fediverse?

@woelkchen

This is our #instance on #Mastodon, not exactly the same like heise.de. But the same domain, that's right.

I don't argue, that you set your rules. But I still don't see, how this could be considered spam..

@andrew_s @IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol

You're right about the image. But I think, it wasn't necessary to @mention me. Because it's a reply..

@woelkchen

Well, the ad for my employer (as an WP-link) came from you, didn't it?

This is not the first such post: I have a tool, that makes it simple to later visualize from where the reactions came.

I think it's quite interesting to compare the promise of the #Fediverse (reach so many different networks) with the reality (it's mainly #Mastodon). And this is a good way, I think. On the other hand, this posts do show, how far your content can go.
