    That, as I stated before, is not the title. It is the title YOU gave the post.

    When you post an article into lemmy, it will grab a title that was specified in a field by the article, this was the title it grabbed, YOU can test this out for youself by creating a post with the same link, I DID NOT create the title, it was automatically fetched by lemmy, which means at some point in time this article had this title.

      You can see my confusion since the article’s title is different. My mistake, I’ve just never seen lemmy grab an alternate title before.

        For reference, the text is coming from the <title> tag in the HTML, which can differ from the displayed title at the opt of the article. It’s likely different for SEO/clickthrough purposes
