Lately, images in my federated posts originating from my Discourse site are showing up multiple times in mastodon. Is this an ActivityPub thing or a mastodon thing? Or a misconfiguration on my end? I am not sure how to address it. Here are two examples. Mastodon seems to be trying to create a grid view when the original did not have a grid view.
