I'm also guilty I guess. I need to create a style/posting guide.
I usually avoid posts with emoji's and many special characters (|, @, etc) in the title. Something about it feels noisy. I can tell something is a video or podcast based on the domain its coming from so the emoji's feel extra.
I need to write these ideas out though and see what everyone thinks.

Even this one is gross 'GitHub - jamaljsr/polar: One-click Bitcoin Lightning networks for local app development & testing' ... This is an auto-filled title but I wish it were edited to remove 'Github' because it's redundant given the link is to ... Github.

Duplication of data may be bad in database schema but at the presentation layer I'm not as critical.
But when looking at Hacker News, almost none of those posts for a github would have a title that looks like that. (Or the example you showed of mine, with the emoji).
But then again, this isn't Hacker News. This is Stacker News. Just like how Mastodon isn't Twitter, it is Mastodon. And things there can be different. Which attracts people who are different. Which gives the timelines there more character than a similar Twitter timeline.
