Picture placement compatibility test

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.

Picture placement compatibility test

From what I've observed so far, it looks like #Mastodon wreaks quite some havoc on #Hubzilla posts with pictures in them. I guess the same happens to posts from #Friendica and servers based on #Streams.

It probably only shows a maximum of four pictures.
It moves them to the end of the post, regardless of where they are in the original post.
It most likely reverses their order.
It leaves them outside the summary (Hubzilla)/CW (Mastodon), so they're always in plain sight.

Here's a post to demonstrate what happens. This post should have five pictures of 7-segment digits e

@Sarah Brown Now that's strange. Maybe you've discovered another incompatibility where none should be.

I'm wondering what could be the issue. Friendica should receive Hubzilla posts through ActivityPub, not in their original BBcode form. I've checked the rights as well, they ought to have been okay.
