    There are a few Mastodon bots that do that for some prominent Twitter accounts. I suppose it could work for links here but wouldn’t really make sense for text posts.

      Actually I think it makes the most sense for text posts and comments. Links can be found elsewhere. It’s the user generated content that has real value.

      Depends on the context of the text post. Some are basically articles.
