@julian Consider adding .mention class to mentions in HTML content.

@julian Consider adding
.mentionclass to mentions in HTML content. Some clients transform such links into internal links. -
Well, depending on a class from a 3rd-party is not the best way to go about it. Anyway, the server should reconstruct the html and add the appropriate
.mentionclass based on any existingMentionlinks from the ActivityPub object.@rikudou@lemmings.world that was my thinking as well.

@bh4-tech Update: I think that community.nodebb.org is now running with latest commits from the develop branch and so remote images and videos can be viewed once we click on the attachment link. But I think the UX can be somewhat improved.
Current experience- A remote post contains a media file. The file(image) is not displayed below the text and only its link is displayed. An unaware user might not notice that it's an image and not click on the link thinking it's an external link and, in that case, will only see the text and so the post will feel awkward to the user.(I know that once any one user clicks on a link, the media gets loaded inline automatically for all other users, but even that also seems a good amount of friction). Also, if the forum is installed as PWA, clicking the media link will open it in a custom tab.
Possible improvement- Instead of the link, show a simmerring image loading animation(the one we see on instagram or youtube when images/thumbnails are loading) with the text "Click to view" and upon clicking on the animation the media gets loaded.

@bh4-tech FWIW, refreshing the posts has worked to load media links in line for me. Still not an ideal experience, but better than having to click on the image links.

Yeah, not an ideal experience. I guess a placeholder as suggested above would be a better experience, especially for users not familiar with concept of fediverse.

@bh4-tech @Kichae what you're seeing is a link rendered by the link-preview plugin because the image hasn't been loaded yet.
What's supposed to happen is the link gets replaced in real time with the image or box, but sometimes the timing is off and the loaded post doesn't load in time to catch the response.
Blah de blah technical stuff. It can be fixed I think...

@kspatlas@kbin.earth loving how this is messing with AP instances everywhere lol.
I updated the timestamp but it doesn't seem to have propagated over to your instance!

@kspatlas@kbin.earth the post itself has the correct timestamp doesn't it? I'm asking because I can't really tell for sure since I'm unfamiliar with kbin/lemmy
-
@julian This post as it appears on kbin.earth thinks it's from 11 months in the future, with a timestamp of 2026-02-27. It looks fine elsewhere though (e.g. on Lemmy). NodeBB has sent out some incorrect activities for this post, so I'm guessing that Lemmy fixed itself after processing a later Update, but MBIN didn't get it or didn't process it (I'm not that familiar with it, but it looks like no-one there is subscribed to either the category or you, so I don't even know how they created it in the first place)

@freamon thanks, will have to mock up an update and send it their way specifically I guess.
