@dko1905 The Swiss Army Knife of the Fediverse. Older and vastly more powerful than Mastodon.
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 block your posts. I only “follow” you back because Hubzilla requires me to do that to allow you to follow me. But I can read 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.

Okay, this time I can see the image on Hubzilla. Just for the record.
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.
And of course, although it’s already in the Lemmy community sidebar:

Muß an Lemmy liegen, auf Hubzilla kann ich’s sehen.
Im Zweifel also immer einen Link zum Originalpost anhängen und hoffen, daß auch bei Mobilnutzern der Link im Browser geöffnet wird und nicht in der Mastodon-App.
Tut auch auf Hubzilla genau das, was es soll.
Hat gedauert, aber sie sind angekommen.
CalcKey should have been renamed ℂ instead of Firefish. Because.
@Squidquid Option #1: Search for a hashtag. If it exists, and it’s halfway active, follow it. No, I’m not kidding you, you can do that on Mastodon.
Option #2: the people section on fediverse.info.
Option #3: No matter which instance you’re on, go to mastodon.social with your Web browser and search it for interesting hashtags. This may reveal to you more people who are interested in those topics/write about those topics.
Also, if you want to learn more about the Fediverse beyond Lemmy (and beyond Mastodon, for that matter), go follow fediversenews@venera.social. It’s a public forum on Friendica. You’ll learn soon enough what Friendica is.
And curiously, for a change, I can see the image here on Hubzilla.
