That's for people to figure out who decide to tag a Lemmy community. Mastodon users cannot just assume everything using the ActivityPub protocol is Mastodon or works exactly like Mastodon. Mastodon displays this community as "Group", not an individual profile, so it's not like this comes out of the blue.
It's Mozilla's fault that there is currently no dedicated official Firefox profile, only
@mozilla@mozilla.social
.Please report this bug then: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/
This is intentional, because Lemmy uses inline image embedding which other platforms do not support to combat IP-Grabbing.
One more reason not to post to Lemmy communities from Mastodon.
Lemmy just makes a local copy before delivering the image to users. Pretty sure Mastodon can do the same.
