PDF Attachements
PDF Attachements
There is a person on Mastodon yesterday commenting about not being able to attach PDF's to their posts (apparently this is not allowed in Mastodon for some reason).
I was curious, so I commented on their post with a PDF attached to my comment. I was able to see my comment and the attached PDF, but if I go to their Mastodon page and view the thread, my comment does not even show up. I am guessing that Mastodon just ignores comments that break the no-pdf rule.
So, herre is yet another thing that Streams can do easily that other platforms cannot, yet Mastodon is the popular platform. I am always left scratching my head on that.
Here, I am attaching a PDF just because I can:

after the last 3 years I realized that people who act or don't act in a certain way are not just X on this planet but X multiplied by 3.

in reply to Streams • • •Does anybody have a feature comparison table that covers these little differences between Streams and Mastodon?
PDF files not allowed.
Audio files not allowed.
Images show up in reverse order?
Editable comments and posts
Post filtering
Add to the list?

in reply to Streams • • •curious:
in a post with two video attachments, a video with an .mp4 extension and another without an extension, the one with an extension automatically forms the tag "video" and therefore mastodon barely sees it as a link, while the other video does not appear at all.

in reply to Streams • • •streams -- mastodon
then I discovered:
attachment is not recognized (unless it is transformed into a tag in the post)
if I delete a post (exclude), in mastodon it still continues to appear.

in reply to Streams • • •The 'summary' bbcode tag will hide text for Mastodon.
The sensitive hashtag will hide media in Mastodon.

in reply to Streams • • •I'm using release version and currently I get:
one hides the text in the middle of the bbcode summary tag
another hides the text before the tag but shows the text inside the tag
and mastodon doesn't show the message at all (as if it didn't arrive at its destination).

in reply to Streams • • •Sensitive tag with media work in streams but not using hubzilla (in my test in zotum) Vs mastodon
Bbcode tag summary doesn't work in hubzilla and Streams Vs mastodon.

@Giac El Vecio
(streams) actually uses both the hashtags
#nsfwand#sensitiveto activate Mastodon's specific image-obscuring hack. It was introduced maybe two months ago or so because Mike is quick at doing such stuff.As for Hubzilla, I've filed an issue on Framagit about just this shortly after (streams) introduced that feature. There hasn't been a single reaction so far.
[summary][/summary]or[abstract][/abstract], whichever it is, is specific to Friendica. AFAICT, Friendica does not have a summary field like Hubzilla or (streams) or a content warning field like Mastodon, so it has to resort to specific BBcode.Then again, Friendica doesn't have any support for polls either.
