I can see the image without having to click anything
I'm not sure what you need to do to hide just the image
@FediTips can you suggest a solution?
in reply to charis

At least when viewing a post in Mastodon you need to have a content warning for the entire post to hide an image.

By the way, I'm not seeing anything hidden in that post or the post you linked to?

Sensitive content

in reply to Chris

That's hidden for me, I'm not sure why it isn't for John Dal?

Possibly a version difference? My server is on v4.4.1 while Dal's is on 4.3.9.

@Chris @Fedi.Tips @charis This one is definitely operating as it should. Interesting choice of service to use, hadn't seen Mitra before.

Mitra is very simple to set up for a single user or small instance, and not resource intensive.
in reply to Chris

@Chris @Fedi.Tips @charis Interesting, hadn't heard of that one, but I've seen others with the same goal. Only thing I don't like about them is that they don't really bring anything new to the table, or at least nothing new to the short blog software

Chris reshared this.

Mitra actually brings quite a lot new to the table. @silverpill brings in a lot of new ideas, including truly nomadic accounts. We have had a quoted post ability for some time, though using FEP-e232 rather than the FEP-044f that Mastodon is bringing support for. I believe our quoted posts show as a post with a link in clients that don't support it. I expect that if FEP-044f takes off Silverpill might change to support that too, I know that he read the FEP and thinks the way that Mastodon has decided to handle access, security, and control is well thought out.

The other advantage of a small project is that the developer, Silverpill, will take time to explain usage issues, installation or running problems and listen to suggestions.

Just FYI the Mitra quoted post shows on Mastodon as a quoted post successfully.

Mastodon got support for displaying quoted posts in the latest update, next one should add creation too.

This may vary from client to client but at least the web client is displaying it ok. So it seems Mitra's quoting is compatible? 🙂

@Chris @silverpill @Fedi.Tips @charis Interesting, definitely some improvements over other one user software I've seen. Me, I'm looking for a micro blog software with the best of Friendica features, quote posts, RSS reader (those two go hand in hand), and Diaspora compatibility
in reply to 🌴 Seph 💭 👾

I don't think you will ever get these from Mitra. It is a lightweight alternative to Mastodon and a testbed for ActivityPub innovation. Supporting RSS and Diaspora look to me as though they would not help with the project aims, not be needed by most users, and add bloat.
in reply to Chris

@Chris @Fedi.Tips @silverpill @charis Nods, "Yeah, prolly add some bloat, plus I think its dependent on what the project goal is. RSS is a nice plus as it brings the web to me, my timeline on here isn't just the people I follow but the part of the web I care about. Diaspora is definitely useful as that corner of the Fediverse is disconnected from the rest, so it obviously broadens the number of people you can follow when you can include the entire Fediverse."

I'd sort of given up on Diaspora. I had an account there, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with it. It's just that ActivityPub seems to have reached some critical mass where it keeps growing whereas Diaspora is slowly reducing.
in reply to Chris

@Chris @Fedi.Tips @charis Yeah, I know some good people over there, but its not growing much if at all, but I do like to stay in touch. I'd be curious to know how much it adds, something that's actually I think easily available as the creator of Friendica created a library of modules I think that went into Friendica and several other projects he worked on, so the entire share to both is somewhere on Git I believe. I think his idea was that others could use them or fork them for their own projects.

That probably won't help with Mitra even if it did want Diaspora connectivity. I didn't mention it before but Mitra is a pure Rust showcase project, so assuming the libraries are not written in Rust they'd have to be rewritten.

in reply to Chris

@Chris @Fedi.Tips @charis I figured as much, just figured that would at least provide a solid and I think the only operating example, of how to support both at the same time
