    @stefano hi, do you have any thoughts on allowing two-character tags? The Newsmast AI Channel – https://newsmast.community/@ai – automatically boosts posts with the #AI tag. Automation is impossible for posts such as the one below, because I could not add a suitable tag in NodeBB: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin@billboard.bsd.cafe/116661000862569351 Thanks

    Not a showstopper, as far as I can tell. If I use the File menu of Firefox to Find in Page… Ctrl+F – without using the keyboard shortcut – then a match is found but may be invisible, and Control-G advances to the next match. In the screenshot below, the matched word is not either of the pink highlights. The match should be visible with a green highlight. [image: 1779446124270-5d953904-e611-475a-b78a-72d540242090-image.jpeg] It's weird, but usable.

    Hmm. @Darknessraptor@bsd.cafe does not work as a link. Copied after double-clicking his ID at his profile in BSD Cafe Mastodon: [image: 1779268634080-ef539131-574e-4fbc-9720-19adaa79749a-image.jpeg] If, instead, I begin typing @dark then he's found. A menu of matching IDs: [image: 1779268827076-b93b77c8-36a9-4341-9a2f-5f104b8c9537-image.jpeg] @darknessraptor@mastodon.bsd.cafe Maybe I have forgotten part of how this part of the Fediverse works

    Better: it's not possible "to use" avif or webp formats? (much lighter)

    @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe please, how can I delete the following post from Mastodon? https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin@billboard.bsd.cafe/116475215991714222 The post above is already deleted in NodeBB. (I duplicated the title to the first line of the post, to work around the missing title issue, the result was duplication in Mastodon.) Thanks The subsequent post by me is OK, no duplication: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin@billboard.bsd.cafe/116475260834678599. This one should remain.

    Similarly, with the Yeti skin I get missing texts in the Powered by area: [image: 1776614005911-5ecfb87a-4915-4555-9d1e-fc1c79f680e1-image.jpeg] Also with Yeti, https://billboard.bsd.cafe/unread failed to show the name of at least one category, OpenBSD. I wonder whether the issue will be reproducible with the default (no skin).

    … my previous posts, they don’t seem to have had this problem. Here's another: [image: 1776611842047-9fa33bf5-3db8-440d-8319-ac4e051217ad-image.jpeg] When using glitch-soc at BSD Network to create and edit a post, it seems that Markdown and HTML options work only if the required content type is preselected when drafting and when editing. Examples: https://bsd.network/@grahamperrin/116432053054263857 https://bsd.network/@grahamperrin/116432064198716983 I assume that when an HTML post is incoming from something other than glitch-soc, glitch-soc defaults to plain text – without attempting to automatically detect HTML. glitch-soc/mastodon: A glitchy but lovable microblogging server issues …

    https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/116360952509659346 a few minutes ago did address a category here in NodeBB, but has not yet appeared in the category: https://billboard.bsd.cafe/category/6/freebsd It is visible as a post at https://billboard.bsd.cafe/user/grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe/posts. A post, not a topic. Might this explain why it is not a topic in the category?

    The problem here was auto-fill. The normal hint is automatically hidden by my real email address (pixelated in the screenshot below): [image: 1775270267359-6404e482-4e9b-4ed8-99ce-17d9e0b61814-image.jpeg] Keyword in the screenshot above: whatever. My email address is used for the Mastodon instance, but does not identify the instance. Whatever. After clearing the auto-fill, the hint is visible: [image: 1775270520828-85e70b11-6b73-4649-8a46-757476cfbf2c-image.jpeg] Eg username@mastodon.social The opening post is solved (tagged), I have flagged it for a move to the test area. Apologies for the noise.

    I prefer new tabs for outgoing links: [image: 1775242252190-9a96606d-cd6e-4a85-96ed-bc24b2d09df4-image.jpeg] When I use the context menu at https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/https%3A%2F%2Fsocial.linux.pizza%2Fusers%2Frestorante%2Fstatuses%2F116339353868717301 (for example) to open an original post, I'm taken away from Billboard in the same tab. This feels wrong. I can't find a matching open or closed issue at https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues.

    Ole Asteo / nodebb-plugin-shortcuts · GitLab If I understand correctly, the plugin will allow shortcuts such as Control-I and Control-B. Whilst I love the idea, you might want to hesitate before plugging things such as this into a nice new instance. See, for example, https://community.nodebb.org/post/96744 (2023) …

    Thanks. Maybe NodeBB defaults to strictness for new users, which would make sense. If so: leave it as is, I guess that I'll be able to edit the subject line there when I become a trusted user (I'm in no rush).
