@danielsantos @vincent I love this idea. Would also be great to have a clear list of conversation participants that can be (de)selected.
@danielsantos I'm not sure why your mentions of @gluon and @vincent didn't get turned into links. 🤔 The conversation does tag Vincent, though, so that should summon him. 🧞♂️
@jean @danielsantos funny enough, I got a mention via Mastodon. I think, because this is a longer post, it didn’t do the usual trick of turning links to links… instead favouring the article link.
@vincent @danielsantos Vincent, would you have seen the mentions in the original post which are in plain text for reasons I don’t know?
@jean I have noticed that if a post is > 280 characters, the @ mention doesn't show a link on the timeline. This is an Mb thing, I think. On the actual blog, it is shown as a hyperlink though. @vincent @danielsantos
@jean I was notified via Mastodon, because it was also cross-posted to social.lol, and it automatically linked to me somehow… which trigger a notification from my server @danielsantos
@vincent When posts are truncated after 280 characters on the Mb timeline, it strips away the formatting on the characters that do show up. I wish it were not that way (not sure technically how possible that is). Also, yeah, if you mention someone after those 280 characters, they get notified. I have missed a few that way and people have wondered why I haven't commented or responded.
@pratik yeah, so if it’s a long post it treats it that way and doesn’t attempt to style or add links to the “text”. However it should be able to send a webmention somehow when it links to someone in the post itself. Needs investigating what’s possible. I’ll put it on the list 🤣😋
@pratik @vincent I can confirm that. Surprised I didn't leave the meetup with a long list of feature requests. 🙂 As for the notifications... I think it's confusing to get a mention if you can't see your name in the timeline post, and we also want to avoid spammers @-mentioning everyone in a long post. Needs some tweaking.
