I suggest adding embedding Mastodon/ Akomma/ Misskey support as it will highly improve the experience of adding posts from there instead of taking screenshots of microblogs.

The way it would work is you add format to support including microblogs, so in clients there would be a button where you you paste the link and it would fetch the text and the details.

Yeah. Its just not a good thing to add to the base UI. If someone wants to add this to any of the many lemmy clients they can do it easily, but its a very bloated thing to do. It would probably require loading lots of external javascript every time you open a post.
