  • Eternity’s specific issues around spoilers aside, I think other apps / platforms might struggle with that post because the spoilers aren’t technically formatted correctly - the ::: that ends a spoiler should be on a new line.

    lemmy-ui might’ve handled them as the user expected, but anything using a different Markdown library might not (including Lemmy’s own backend when it comes to the HTML content field for federation)





  • How does Piefed handle image attachments, btw?

    For comments: not at all. If a Mastodon user tried to do what I did, with the inline image, nothing would show.

    We could do what I think you’ve done, and regex the details of the attachment into ! [] () Markdown and add it to the text. There’s also a DB relationship between comments and images that isn’t used, but could be, I suppose.

    I’ve never actually seen a Mastodon user try to add an image to something that ended up as a Lemmy comment, tbh, so it’s not something I’ve thought too much about.


  • I just tried with Masto - maybe there’s different versions, but it didn’t work with the one I tried.

    Screenshot:

    It’s probably for the best that this PR doesn’t also convert inline Markdown into an attachment to send out for Mastodon’s benefit, because then there would be the danger of apps that understand both showing two images. It’d be better if Mastodon did the translation when receiving stuff, but Mastodon doesn’t seem as good as MBIN when it comes to co-operating with Lemmy.

    (edit: how that screenshot shows on MBIN is a bit disappointing though - at least looking at on the web)





  • Interesting. Funnily enough, my comments are coming through to Lemmy as ‘Undermined’ too (just a PieFed bug, easily fixed), so the fact that you saw it (as well as the comments by the others I mentioned) means it’s not a language thing. That’s good, in a way, because it should be physically impossible to actually de-select it.

    So, sorry - at least we can rule one thing out, but I don’t have any more suggestions.


  • That community only accepts posts in ‘undermined’ language, so if you aren’t seeing anything from there, but you can when you log out (to simulate everyone else’s view of it), then it’s probably a user setting that prevents you from seeing stuff from that language. If you go to the ‘collapse’ community and posts by ‘Midnight’ are missing, then it’ll be that (similarly there’s a comment here from ‘originallucifer’ - if you haven’t seen it, it’s 'cos of the language thing).
