Since the bot consumes the https://mltshp.com/user/mltshp/rss feed, it is using the link provided there, which is the repost. To address this, we have some choices:
.content .originally-posted-by .the-post
).atom:link
element with a "via" rel attribute to link to originating post. This would also require changes to the bot to consume this new element. This would be applied to all RSS feeds.Please see: https://github.com/MLTSHP/mltshp/pull/760
And related issue: https://github.com/MLTSHP/mltshp/issues/754
Verified fixed (via implementing option 3).
When the bot posts an image, it’s not posting a link to the original account that has all the likes. It’s posting a link to MLTSHP account instead of a link to the original post that has gotten all the likes. The latter behavior is the way the twitter bot operated
Example: this is the link the bot posts: https://mltshp.com/p/1Q5J1 (1 like) But that is a saved to shake repost of this: https://mltshp.com/p/1Q5I8 (edited)
The reposted image often has few to zero likes, making it look unpopular. It also erases the comments and context that sometimes helps explain the post.
