We could do what I think you’ve done, and regex the details of the attachment into ! [] ()

To be clear, this pull request doesn’t use regex, it’s just JSON deserialisation and string interpolation.

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.

The pull request actually includes one, the main KDE account tags !kde@lemmy.kde.social and includes pictures in their threads regularly. It’s just hard to tell from our side as you can’t see what’s missing.

This is Mastodon’s HTML sanitiser, you can see they stipe out <img> tags.

How does Piefed handle image attachments, btw?

I wouldn’t call Bluesky’s federation fake, we’d need a working definition of ‘federation’ for that, but I would say it lacks meaningful federation.

What, Emacs is a successful init system https://github.com/a-schaefers/systemE

I’ve heard good things about Sharkey, it’s what blahaj uses for their microblog stuff.

There’s also Iceshrimp, though last I heard they were becoming their own thing written in C#.

The others I know about don’t seem to be maintained. Can’t speak to using them, I find the interface far too busy (default Mastodon UI users).

This is straight up misinformation, Dorsey was on the Bluesky’s board, but left in May. As far as I’m aware, he’s never even invested in the company (but he has given money to the nostr devs).

As someone who spends more money than I should on music from Bandcamp, I’m interested to see if they ever get payments working. I remember people talking about a federated BC alternative, where the 10% platform fee goes to the instance you’re on, when they got bought by that music licensing company.

Also, first paragraph under “Integrating with the Fediverse”, you put Bandcamp when I think you meant Bandwagon.
