IIRC, when the URL (on the Mastodon side) is the first line, it pushes a text URL as the heading in Lemmy.

Image attachments work too, if you're only using images.

The issue is you can't have a Lemmy URL, a text heading and a custom thumbnail image in a single post.

This creates problems if you have both a Lemmy community and a Mastodon account and you want post only from the Mastodon account (with the post also going to Lemmy).

I spent a lot of time experimenting with this and I couldn't find a good solution. I stick to posting to Lemmy and Mastodon using separate accounts.

@Berin
Here's how yours look for me.
Notice how it says 0 message on top, but can still see your posts?

Maybe you need to follow someone from the remote instance so they know each other and can federate. That's just a guess.

I don't think I've touched one of those since the 80's 🤣

North America is just so broken.

Have we tried rebooting them yet?

I heart interac email transfers. And I can deposit paper cheques by my credit union's app.

But you're not wrong at all. :)

Payments Canada’s Real-Time Rail is just around th… oh, delayed until 2026.

It’s taken them a dozen years _already_ to not figure out what the rest of the world has had since Harper was in charge.

@Damax Yeah, absolutely, iDEAL and Tikkie are used by pretty much everyone in the Netherlands, and WERO is based on both.

It will be amazing when the rest of the EU can make payments —both to businesses and between individuals — as easily as we can in the Netherlands.

And no foreign tech company middlemen necessary.

Yeah. After the rise of Sofortüberweisung (just enter your online banking login and a TAN. No phishing, we promise*) and the fall of Kwitt (send money to other Sparkasse clients only) I had lost all hope for a useful European alternative.

This is originally neither German nor American, that’s a good start.

* EU court actually forced banks to allow that as an exception, because of competition.

@dusoft That's why it's so weird that SPAYD is only deployed in Czechia and Slovakia. Open source IBAN-based vCard-like format for interbank transfers using (not just) QR codes. Everybody uses it here and it's freakin amazing. It could be implemented in any IBAN-using country tommorow.

But I guess nobody cares...

My accounting software uses similar QR codes to pay invoices that I scan with my bank app.

But iDEAL provides much more than SPAYD, including automation, authentication, payment conformations, refunds, and other things important to e-commerce.

You could build all that around SPAYD but you'd basically have to re-create iDEAL. In the end they both end up initiating a SEPA transfer.

WERO makes a lot of sense as a new banking standard, going forward.
