So an interesting change is coming to Mastodon embeds.

Previously, the embed code consisted of an iframe, going forward, this is being switched to a blockquote.

In either case, the original text of the post is not included and is rather added after the main page the embed is on is loaded.

There are definitely benefits of moving away from iframes, as I've discussed on my blog.

Also, an important side note, if you're using my Fediverse Embeds WordPress plugin, it will not work with this latest format. I will work on an update...hopefully over this weekend.
