Don't I wish this could be a Standard post, with optional formatting if a user desired ?
It is, at a Glitch Social instance, where it was made and a snapshot taken.
#MarkDown is needed. #UX #UI #mastodon
Formatting included in this one :
- H1 Heading in first line.
- light touches of Bold and Italicized text
- URL link for Reddit page hidden under text description.
Not used but handy too :
- Quotes, OMG.
- Code tag with stand out text
- other Heading sizes.
Supported out of the box in GS instances. Thank you @koyu@koyu.space #KoyuJournal

Thank you!! 😺
We had a nice conversation here in the local timeline and I was VERY pleased to hear our fearless admin saying he was ok for trying out a Pleroma test instance sometime in the (near?) future.
Followed by evaluating, letting #Qoto users try it, and decide if a migration was possible.
I really like these two projects, both #Pleroma and #GlitchSocial are pushing the boundaries, inovating and giving us Proof of Concept. That yes, it CAN be done.
We have a huge database, so to move Qoto and all content is a major job -- and conversion tools for the database would be key to enable such a move. To GlitchSocial, I think it would be an easier path, since it's a leading edge Mastodon fork, not a whole new project like Pleroma.
@freemo mentioned seeing the users impressions - and I forgot to mention, but Pleroma offers 2 or 3 different options of Front End -- the part that us users see daily.
- The Pleroma FE, which is different and takes getting used to.
- The Mastodon FE, which is in fact a port of GlitchSocial web client -- the same one in use at Koyu.space, with the enhancements GS has, and VERY similar to a mastodon generic instance for a casual user.
...while the Local Power Users get the full goodness of MarkDown, or BBcode, if they want to exercise Formatting rights. 😛
That Masto FE is a good selling tool if a migration gets to happen. Future Beckons. 🌇
