David Mitchell :CApride:<p>OK Fedi-hive-mind… am I missing out here due to using a ridiculously outdated app, or is this what linked BlueSky posts look like to everyone: just a hyperlinked URL? If this is what it is for everyone here; is this because BlueSky isn’t playing nice, or because Mastodon development isn’t keeping up?<br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@feditips" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>feditips</span></a></span></p><p>UPDATE: after a few comments and some backtracking… what I’m looking at is a Bsky quotepost by a Bridgy account, and the quotepost is reduced to a URL, I suspect, because the OP account is not bridged.</p><p>NOW I’m curious if the quotepost would show through if the OP was a bridged account?</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ThingsIWonder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThingsIWonder</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediTips</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BlueSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueSky</span></a></p>
📄 Mehdi.doc<p>Hi Fedi, I have an opportunity to create a new social community, but for people that are not "libre-savvy".

Jens Dersvenheisst<p>Moin. Seit Wochen frag ich euch (nicht), wie man die E-Mails ausschalten kann, wenn man hier Reaktionen kriegt.

I'm particular intrigued by the Patreon model, about which I've got mixed feelings but can't truly articulate them. Does anyone know about study/research on 'Patreon economies' and can point them to me?<br>Thank you!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/FediTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediTips</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/Patreon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Patreon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/Economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Economy</span></a></p>

Dr. Leon KumsPlease note your instance admin may ask you to verify your Mastodon account. This is 100% legitimate and it is imperative you blindly click on any hyperlinks and submit any data requested to prevent your Mastodon account from being purged within 24 hours of receipt. Failure to do so will also ban you from any and all Mastodon instances in the future. <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/feditips" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediTips</a>
