Thank you for the prompt reply.

I ented a Bulleted list with the asterisk, similar to your exemple in the post above, and:

* It displays properly formatted as a Bullet in the Pinafore client.
* BUT as an asterisk in the mastodon default web client (under Waterfox, FF family browser).

Hidded URLS are when we use something like :

`Visit the [Really Cool Page here](https://server.url/directory/webpage.html)`

(so here we test CODE block above).

> The Quote Text block seems to display properly in Pinafore.
>
> But not in the Mastodon web client...

Will attach a screenshot of this in a minute *showing what it displays like in mastodon web client.*

@digerat Hello, and welcome to Qoto.

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator

@zleap @compass_straight_edge @freemo

>> @design_RG help please.

Sorry but LaTeX is not my thing. No idea how to use it, although the output is pretty for Math work.

@Demosthenes That is a good question. I use web clients mostly -- Pinafore most of the time, running on a Browser window.

I do believe the excluded languages would be stored as a user preference, and the server would not send content to a client with that language.

But it's worth trying. I would also suggest looking for the Fedilab Lite version, at F-Droid.org, as it is lighter on resources use.

Good luck! :)

@freemo Ah, thank you, I have found them -- working the way down local posts. Well done!!

@freemo

>> have a post on the front page of #hackernews

Link, or it didn't happen. Screenshot is a good idea too. Congratulations!!

@Demosthenes take a look here :

@dyedgrey That is generated by the Discourse Forum admin panel itself; we can vary the displayed period, but the graphs are all autogenerated by it.

@namark That's the one -- Thank you !! :)

@namwen @scots Check a big list on this post : https://qoto.org/@freemo/104275287395929723

@namwen @scots I have seen adding Relays as a helpful thing to do in this situation.

@zleap @freemo Yes, I see the same message, Error code 502.

Can't help you, Paul. Freemo has to kick the server's but it seems. 🧐

@zleap You have seen my Write.freely Users Guide post?

A translation from Ange's French original, and useful since there's so little documentation.

@hansw The free accounts at Proton are very nice, I have one as well. But there are 3 countries you can use to connect to.

And the tool I mentioned can lock the gps coordinates anywhere - but that only works on some apps and games, as it's not a real tunnel. Just massaging gps readings to what we want them to be.

Location Changes – For Privacy or Any Reason
.
Our Internet Location is Important

So many reasons why. Some sites will not show you content, due to it. Others will carefully track you, even after you have long left. And mobile devices are even worse — if that's possible.

Real solutions can be had, usually for a cost. **VPN services** offer privacy, anonymity, and access to remote Geo-locations which could unlock some content.

But there are some applications that provide a simpler solution — *without creating a real 'tunnel' between you and the remote server*.

These work by allowing us to **change the device's GPS coordinates** readings. And while they *will not encrypt or deliver traffic to a far away end point*, they DO work for some games and apps. Many times **at no cost* to the user, so worth considering and testing.

That is the Topic of today's Blog -- https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/location-changes-for-privacy-or-any-reason

Nicer OP at https://muensterland.social/@rgx/104694829094530147

@jerlich The Discourse Forum is a totally separate entity, a forum and not federated like mastodon instances -- so you have to visit there to see what is new, read and respond to posts.

Advantages exist, as Forums allow postign with full text format, images inserted in the middle of text, etc. So they can produce pages that are richer and similar to a Blog page in fact.

Mastodon doesn't allow text formatting like bold, italic, unless you are in a GlitchSocial instance or on a Pleroma one; those do have MarkDown text formatting support.

I would say they complement each other -- in some cases Forums are better, while here we can distribute messages more widely and even announce posts that are hosted in other places -- like forums or blogs.

I use all those formats, and they all have their own strengths. Hope this helps! :)

@freemo @zleap @gioypi wonderful, thank you!
