On the latest release candidate on calckey.social, I noticed that there’s an expand tweet button that will show a full tweet embed if someone sends you a Twitter link.
Don’t ask me for the full details on how this works—I don’t do the coding for #Calckey 😉
See screenshots.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews That cohost does this automatically is basically the only thing I like about cohost. They support oEmbed of a lot of different things.
@nyquildotorg@mastodon.social @atomicpoet@calckey.social @fediversenews@venera.social yes their oEmbed system is quite nice. And gives users control over what they want to allow. I believe the undercarriage is https://iframely.net/consents
@atomicpoet @fediversenews@venera.social That's always been there, not new
@freeplay @fediversenews@venera.social Wild. I’ve been using Calckey for quite some time and just noticed it.
@xerz@fedi.xerz.one @fediversenews@venera.social I know it’s an embed. I’m not referring to the embed itself.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews@venera.social It's actually been there even since Misskey. An underutilized feature for sure but not anything new.

@kainoa@calckey.social @atomicpoet@calckey.social @fediversenews@venera.social huh ... never noticed it in use. all twitter links have forced me to click offsite.

@kainoa @atomicpoet @fediversenews@venera.social kind of an interesting thought. As the fediverse grows you could format pixelfed posts different than Lemmy posts and Funkwhale posts and so on!

I’ve been saying it for a while … it feels like the fediverse could do with a tool like pandoc but for platform posts, available more or less in the same way language translations are.
It would have to be third party, which is good, as the fediverse could benefit from more platform generic software rather than everyone reinventing the wheel.

Yes!
I already follow “other” ActivityPub accounts from Mastodon.
When there are so many projects you kind of want to set them all up, but on the other end, then you’ll need sooo many accounts to handle it.
If we can “unify” services into single accounts, I think that could be a killer feature. Like I’d be getting Tweets, insta photos and posts from Reddit or a blog all in the same timeline together with music from the artists I follow.
