I think this is the first time I'm seeing a fediverse post embedded in an article by a major news site.

@[email protected] Oh yeah, that sounds vaguely familiar.
A notification would definitely be a neat feature!
@[email protected] I was just thinking about how awful my network setup is because my basic router doesn't have loopback. So I access my mastodon server through a vpn, which means the only place in the world where that iframe doesn't work is if you're connected to my home wifi

"if I understand how embeds work"
Yes, it's just an iframe pointing at your server, so each page visit will have to load it separately. (Maybe there is some browser-level caching? Can't really find much about this.)
I suppose this is somewhat similar to having your post go viral on here, but even then it would only be fetched by each server, not every individual person on those servers.
