When a Postbox post is shared to another platform like Mastodon, Sharkey, Disapora, Hubzilla, etc., the Postbox styling does not go with it. The same is true for anyone viewing the post in a third-party app, because none of them support Postbox styling, at least not yet.
There are two Friendica add-ons _server administrators_ can install to add global support for Postbox styling. The "[Postbox](https://gitlab.com/randompenguin/postbox)" add-on simply adds a stylesheet to the `<head>` element. It provides no interface for creating Postboxes, but users can still create them manually with BBcode. The other is the "[Zen Postbox](https://gitlab.com/randompenguin/zen_postbox)" add-on which not only adds the stylesheet to the `<head>` it also adds a Jot Plugin button to the message composer with a menu of all the available Postbox styles.

Obviously if your post gets shared to another platform like Mastodon, Sharkey, Diaspora, Hubzilla, etc., it also will not have the Postbox styling. Same goes for anyone viewing your post in a third-party app because none of them support Postbox styling, at least not yet.
