I hadn’t noticed this before. New styling for blockquotes on Mastodon. This post started on my blog: Markdown → HTML → ActivityPub → Mastodon. This version of Mastodon is probably deployed widely enough that I can drop the redundant quotes that Micro.blog adds.
@manton so that actually was added to 4.4/main a about three weeks ago. User coverage is 35% at the moment mostly because it's already running on mastodon.social.
@vmstan Nice. Skimming through FediDB, I can see there are a few large instances still on 4.1 or 4.2. Wonder if there’s a site that tries to aggregate version numbers to get a rough install base number?
@manton Hmm, I saw some red posts on mastodon dot social early today and didn’t understand why they had color.
@ryanbooker Ivory should be updated to support blockquotes. I tested a couple other native clients and it looks good in Mammoth and okay in Ice Cubes.
@ryanbooker Yeah, to be clear I’m not going to make this change right now, I overestimated how many people would be on the latest version. But it is interesting that the web version of Mastodon is often the best experience. Other apps are often tied to their Twitter roots and don’t support any formatting except links.
@manton I have a crawler that does exactly that, but I haven't built a front end for it (yet) because I'm not really sure how I want to go about that. (For now it dumps everything to Sqlite and I manipulate the data in Excel) -- This is based on polling 10223 servers.
