Probably bc Mastodon toots don't have a post title, so it looks like Lemmy just uses the first x-many characters from the toot body, which includes some markdown links.

So I guess either mastodon would need to add some custom code that detects a Lemmy federated post and prompts its user for a title, Or Lemmy would need to detect that it's a mastodon toot and add some sort of generic title like "Cross toot from Mastodon"
