An avatar roaming the decentralised and federated 3-D virtual worlds based on OpenSimulator, a free and open-source server-side re-implementation of Second Life. Mostly talking about OpenSim, sometimes about other virtual worlds, occasionally about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. No, the Fediverse is not only Mastodon.

If you're looking for real-life people posting about real-life topics, go look somewhere else. This channel is never about real life.

Even if you see me on Mastodon, I'm not on Mastodon myself. I'm on Hubzilla which is neither a Mastodon instance nor a Mastodon fork. In fact, it's older and much more powerful than Mastodon. And it has always been connected to Mastodon.

I regularly write posts with way more than 500 characters. If that disturbs you, block me now, but don't complain. I'm not on Mastodon, I don't have a character limit here.

I rather give too many content warnings than too few. But I have absolutely no means of blanking out pictures for Mastodon users.

I always describe my images, no matter how long it takes. My posts with image descriptions tend to be my longest. Don't go looking for my image descriptions in the alt-text; they're always in the post text which is always hidden behind a content warning due to being over 500 characters long.

If you follow me, and I "follow" you back, I don't actually follow you and receive your posts. Unless you've got something to say that's interesting to me within the scope of this channel, or I know you from OpenSim, I'll most likely deny you the permission to send me your posts. I only "follow" you back because Hubzilla requires me to do that to allow you to follow me. But I do let you send me your comments and direct messages. If you boost a lot of uninteresting stuff, I'll block you boosts.

My "birthday" isn't my actual birthday but my rezday. My first avatar has been around since that day.

If you happen to know German, maybe my "homepage" is something for you, a blog which, much like this channel, is about OpenSim and generally virtual worlds.

Images on Lemmy visible for users from outside?

@Fediverse

I have a question to all of you who have subscribed to Lemmy groups from Fediverse projects that aren't Lemmy. Who follow Lemmy groups from e.g. #Mastodon, #GlitchSoc, #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #MissKey, what's still called #CalcKey, #FoundKey, #Mitra, #GoToSocial, #Socialhome, #Friendica etc., but also #kbin. And I sincerely hope that I'm not the only subscriber to this entire group who isn't on Lemmy.

My question is: If a Lemmy post contains an image or any other media, can you see it?

I'm on #Hubzilla. And when someone posts something with an image in it, I can see the post, but I can't see the image. When someone posts something with a video in it, I can't see the video either.

I can see images in comments with no problem. But I can't see them in posts.

How about you on Mastodon? Or on CalcKey? Or on /kbin? Or elsewhere?

I'm asking and hoping for replies because I need to find out if the issue is on Lemmy's or on Hubzilla's side so I can file a bug report.

@Jupiter Rowland I tried subscribing to a Lemmy group from HZ, didn't work out. What's the trick?

Make sure the community is not on a Lemmy 0.18.0 instance. That version has a federation bug.
Visit the community with your Web browser (which is a given since Hubzilla doesn't have any working client apps).
Copy the URL of the community (https://lemmy-instance.tld/c/community) from the address bar.
On your Hubzilla instance, go to /connections]the Connections page.
Click the green [hl=#008000] + Add[/hl] button.
Paste the copied Lemmy URL into the dialogue that opens then and confirm.

At least this worked for me.

Kbin. Lemmy images come through fine 80-90% of the time, with a rare case that the post will federate fine but utterly forget the image.

@macrophotography started out repeatedly losing the image when they first started federating with kbin.social, but it resolved in a day and still works fine.

Friendica always(?) shows just a link to the original post as the "title" and post text under it. If I go to the title link, of course all displays as it should since I'm now viewing it from a lemmy instance. But no, never seen a picture as part of a #lemmy post in #friendica.

@southsamurai Do you follow single users or whole communities?

For I follow communities. And I can see neither images nor videos.

Sorry if I have to revive this, but Lemmy development claims that everything is working correctly on Lemmy's side, and the error is on Hubzilla's side if media don't federate from Lemmy to Hubzilla.

Now I need to know again which projects have problems showing images or videos from Lemmy, and which don't.

@Juno Rowland Is there an issue on our git already? Or an issue at Lemmy's git, alternatively?

@_jayrope @Jupiter Rowland will file one.

@_jayrope I've filed an issue for Lemmy a while ago, but Nutomic says that Lemmy is working properly, and the issue has to be on Hubzilla's side.

Now I've also filed one for hubzilla-addons, hoping that it has to do with Pubcrawl. If not, I'll have to file it for hubzilla-core again.

@Jupiter Rowland Question is, if Nutomic is gonna work with @Mario Vavti or whomever is ready on this? That would speed up the process to a minor issue i guess.
