Publication on billboard send to Mastodon with HTML code

[CiotBSD]

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 see your post at:

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.

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.

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.

… my previous posts, they don’t seem to have had this problem.

Here's another:

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:

1. https://bsd.network/@grahamperrin/116432053054263857
2. 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.
