<![CDATA[Publication on billboard send to Mastodon with HTML code]]>Hi.
A few minutes ago, I posted the following: https://billboard.bsd.cafe/topic/94/running-your-own-as
I've just noticed that it was posted on Mastodon, as instance: https://bsd.network/web/@ciotbsd@billboard.bsd.cafe/116425567925824807

Is it normal for the HTML code to be displayed in the body of the message?

I'm not on private browsing; I'm surfing normally.

Similarly, if you take a closer look at my previous posts, they don’t seem to have had this problem.

  1. https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@ciotbsd@billboard.bsd.cafe (logged in), Mastodon v4.5.9
  2. https://bsd.network/web/@ciotbsd@billboard.bsd.cafe (logged in), not Mastodon v4.5.9.

For what's pictured:

Iceage is free open source software based on Glitchsoc, a fork of Mastodon. … (v3.5.19+iceage).

I guess that this version of the fork does not support what's wanted.

Not logged in (NLI)

For NLI Mastodon users, it seems that:

  • links will redirect, not necessarily automatically
  • the target will be your NodeBB (Billboard) profile, not the post

– you can observe this in a private browsing window.
