That being said, ML-generated alt text should be available in the API now! Just verified on my end. Your feedback is heard :) We've always exposed user-provided alt text but that's not always provided.
Let me know if you have any theories on why this URL can't be rendered.
@BeAware@atomicpoet@fediversenews Sorry I meant "other mastodon clients" as in the "other clients that I have access to that are Mastodon." Totally get that there are a variety of popular platforms and we actually use `_misskey_quote` as our quote post URI field :)
"Photo by Jo on April 05, 2024. May be a Twitter screenshot of 2 people and text that says 'Jo @JoJoFromJerz … Donald Trump was the president when the entire planet was hit with a once in a lifetime historic pandemic. But, ok. Marjorie Taylor Greene... @mtgreenee Follow God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come. pray that our country listens.'."
This might be a problem with the local client? We're certainly sending down a valid CDN url as the attachment, and it renders just fine in other Mastodon clients (screenshot here is from my local server).
The CDN url is hosted on cdninstagram.com so I would check if you have any local blocklists in your browser that might affect that.
@noellabo do you mind adding a logged-out public feed for Fedibird? It's a requirement for Threads server review but once that is added, we can re-review and hopefully enable!
@oliphant@wild1145 yep I noticed that! I appreciate the silence vs suspend differentiation; we just already got some reports of functionality breaking (search) on universeodon so I think even that status will be confusing
Hey Ryan, we noticed that Threads is part of this blocklist as well. Is there any chance you would reconsider? Threads has over 130M monthly users and while not all will federate immediately, it would be great to be able to interop with universeodon
The image shows a rendering of a post from Christopher Su who is quote-posting a post from Jesse Chen. This is a quote post on Threads, and it is rendered as something similar in Misskey/Firefish.
There is a link preview of the post attached, and also a rendering of Jesse's post with some indentation and a separate border. Before these AP changes, only the link preview would have appeared.
@crepels the reasoning was that `quoteUrl` and `quoteUri` aren't officially keys in the activity streams namespace, so we figured it's better to use something that's obviously unofficial (_misskey_quote). I don't think there were any compatibility concerns either.
Yeah quote posts are in a tricky spot. We implemented both FEP-e232 as well as the _misskey_quote field (which usually gets checked alongside quoteUrl). This was intentional so we can get some immediate product adoption off the ground (with the unofficial key) and also be somewhat future-proof when the FEP gains more traction.
Here's a screenshot of the JSON associated with @csu 's post. The Link tag in there points to the post we are quoting
