    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.
