@ProdigalFrog Ahhh, that explains it, yes. So slrpnk.net is your Lemmy instance. And the other posts I've seen that were similar were also from people posting on Lemmy. Makes sense.
It's unfortunate. It seems to me like the UX for the interaction between Lemmy and Mastodon could be improved.
@ProdigalFrog I've seen this a few times lately, instead of linking to the YouTube video, which lets us immediately know it's from PhilsComputerLab in this case, people link to a page with a link to the YouTube video but there too with no mention of who the video is by, you have to click the link again.
Can I ask why? For readers, it's less information and more clicks to get to the content. Are you trying to generate traffic to your site? But it's not your content...
@ProdigalFrog Not much we can do. But now I know why, at least!
