Can’t see the image, but that can be for lots of reasons.

An avatar roaming the decentralised and federated 3-D virtual worlds based on OpenSimulator, a free and open-source server-side re-implementation of Second Life. Mostly talking about OpenSim, sometimes about other virtual worlds, occasionally about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. No, the Fediverse is not only Mastodon.
Even if you see me on Mastodon, I’m not on Mastodon myself. I’m on Hubzilla which is neither a Mastodon instance nor a Mastodon fork. In fact, it’s older and much more powerful than Mastodon. And it has always been connected to Mastodon.
I regularly write posts with way more than 500 characters. If that disturbs you, block me now, but don’t complain. I’m not on Mastodon, I don’t have a character limit here.
I rather give too many content warnings than too few. But I have absolutely no means of blanking out pictures for Mastodon users.
I always describe my images, no matter how long it takes. My posts with image descriptions tend to be my longest. Don’t go looking for my image descriptions in the alt-text; they’re always in the post text which is always hidden behind a content warning due to being over 500 characters long.
If you follow me, and I “follow” you back, I don’t actually follow you and receive your posts. Unless you’ve got something to say that’s interesting to me within the scope of this channel, or I know you from OpenSim, I’ll most likely deny you the permission to send me your posts. I only “follow” you back because Hubzilla requires me to do that to allow you to follow me. But I do let you send me your comments and direct messages. If you boost a lot of uninteresting stuff, I’ll block you boosts.
My “birthday” isn’t my actual birthday but my rezday. My first avatar has been around since that day.
If you happen to know German, maybe my “homepage” is something for you, a blog which, much like this channel, is about OpenSim and generally virtual worlds.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Anyone on Friendica following this? Can they verify?
2·6 months agoNot here on Hubzilla.
Okay, this time I can see the image on Hubzilla. Just for the record.
I pay attention to such thinks, but even with hindsight, I do not see such a group reference.
That’s because Mastodon doesn’t tell you that
- it’s a group (because Mastodon doesn’t understand the concept of groups)
- it’s on Friendica (because Mastodon does its best to shield the existence of non-Mastodon Fediverse projects from its users)
On #Mastodon, groups are also possible, but I forgot how to use them, as I used them so little.
Not yet. They’re working on it. And everything else that has working groups/forums now is afraid that Mastodon will re-invent the wheel in a way that’s the most incompatible possible to what already exists on more than half a dozen Fediverse projects.
What you mean is probably Guppe, but that isn’t built into Mastodon and a far cry from what’s possible on Friendica.

Okay, good to know. Then I can remove the automatically added mention.
Start post and first comment liked and disliked from Hubzilla.
And what if I reply to your comment without mentioning you?
@Manucode That’s because I’ve posted them as such.
How about now?
Nope, but that can have a whole lot of reasons.
“Outside” as in _everything_ that isn’t Lemmy.
Unless there’s something in italics in this comment.
So Lemmy only parses Markdown internally, but never when it comes in from outside.
/kbin does as Misskey and the Forkeys do and parses just about all Markdown that’s being thrown at it, no matter from where.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Downvoted the first post because I only see bare markdown. Upvoted the third one because formatting works.

Das ist erst heute morgen bei mir eingegangen.
2·1 year agoGuess which grid apparently changed their minds last minute…
Interestingly, this generated a post title on Lemmy, but not here on Hubzilla.
Usually, the format
titlementionbodyshould generate a title that shows up both on Lemmy and Hubzilla.
And of course, although it’s already in the Lemmy community sidebar:

@𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼 No, I’m saying that iPhone users tend to avoid tapping on links in toots if these links open a browser.
I think they also find it inconvenient. A browser opening over your Mastodon app is to an iPhone user what a pop-up window within our desktop browsers is for us desktop users.
I tend to avoid external links in posts whenever possible.
Sure, the average Hubzilla user is on desktop Linux.
But the average Mastodon user is on an iPhone using a dedicated Mastodon app. Especially iPhone users tend to avoid using a Web browser like the plague, not only, but also because the only browser available to them is Safari.
Most Mastodon users want to do everything Fediverse-related in their Mastodon app.
Arrived on Hubzilla.
But try again with a subject and/or with an image.
