Thank you both for continuing to improve piefed, massively appreciate your efforts!

Impressive, thank you!

One small suggestion: For microblog content, maybe including [microblog] after rather than before the title would make content more digestible? Where something was posted from is, after all, rarely the most important feature of a post. :)

Yeah I'm finding it jarring, too. Perhaps an icon, instead...

An icon would be ideal for sure. The Mastodon logo would be informative but inaccurate.

Part of me wonders if its even necessary at all - is it that different from other types of posts? Maybe an icon indicating whether something is a text post, a link, an image, or a video is more useful, with most microblogs being text posts?

The types of content coming from microblogs vary a lot. People can probably tag WordPress or WriteFreely content into a.gup.pe, as well as images and video. So its not like its all microblogs or a necessarily uniform type of content.

With that in mind, maybe a small Fediverse logo would do?

Just thinking out loud, sorry for the winding post.
