I think this is the first time I'm seeing a fediverse post embedded in an article by a major news site. (fedia.io)

"if I understand how embeds work"

Yes, it's just an iframe pointing at your server, so each page visit will have to load it separately. (Maybe there is some browser-level caching? Can't really find much about this.)

I suppose this is somewhat similar to having your post go viral on here, but even then it would only be fetched by each server, not every individual person on those servers.
