That’s just Lemmy-UI trying, unsuccessfully, to pull the metadata from the posted link. Some sites, Axios being one of them, tend to block cloud VPS IP addresses or put them behind a CloudFlare interstitial (which is what’s shown in your screenshot). It is something Lemmy-UI does, not OP. On other Lemmy UIs, that’s not shown.

that incredible attention to detail he put into posting the link…

and that is why it seems bot-like, because when you do it manually, you can just write your own caption…
Feel free to submit a bug report in the appropriate venue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues
why would i submit bug report? it seems to be working as intended, lazy use of a tool is not a bug.
