Description

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23153 would of course be preferrable, but still, I think there's a lot of content nowadays on Mastodon instances, and having Readability support for it would be huge!

(Readability fixes some web sites that appear as blank pages without JavaScript for me already.)
