Can anyone on QOTO actually replicate what rob is seeing here? Apparently on dark theme quoted text using marked down does not render as expected it is prepended with ">" instead as shown in the screenshot on the linked status.
So far @design_RG is the only person who sees this and attempts to replicate havent been successful. Can anyone else see what he is seeing?

@freemo @QOTO What happens if you use the dark theme in a private window? I would have to log in to change the Theme. Can try. Will do. Done...

If i had a daughter I'd be that dad buying her her own tools, soldering kits, and chemistry lab.Never understood why a dad would buy a daughter a doll, that seems like such a waste.
For a split second I thought this was an aerial picture of detroit.
WooHoo, QOTO is trending on reddits r/engineering! It has been getting us a nice influx of new users too, cool!
I cant help but feel it would cost almost as much to build this fake as it would to just build the capacitor the correct way....
Winnie had some pretty good puns...

Tickets are available here: https://pyconf.hydpy.org/2020/
CfP is still open until November 8th: https://twitter.com/pyconfhyd/status/1313690523555819522?s=20
QOTO’s Managed Groups server will be opening registration later today.
Ok so QOTO’s managed groups appears stable. It ran all night without any errors, it appears to be behaving itself, and all the basic features are working as expected.
Today I just need to fix some minor things (mail delivery) and should be able to open the server up for public registration soon.
If you want to register for a managed group stay tuned, should open up very shortly.
I go into a little detail about how the new managed groups at qoto ( https://groups.qoto.org ) works. Might be worth a look for anyone interested.

Sorry I went to bed right before you sent this reply.
NO it isnt there yet, it will have its own repo and right now the repo only exists locally and privately since I need to add some licensing stuff and make sure all the contributors are recognized. With that said i will be making the server public very shortly (today) since I need to do that now that the server is live.
I will be posting the link to the repo when its up so just follow my timeline and I’ll have it for you shortly. Its effectively a modified version of v3.2.1 of QOTO with significant edits to make it work as a group server, the following are the notable edits:
-
All users have actor_type group instead of person/service/application
-
Users can not follow other users at all and as such the home timeline is removed
-
Accounts behave as per the standard approach to groups, that is, when someone posts a message and tags the group then the group will automatically reboost that post.
The above points are the part that are no different than guppy, the following aspects are where it differs.
-
Unlike with guppy a group isnt automatically created the first time someone tags it. Groups are only created if someone explicitly creates it by registering on the server.
-
Group owners when logged into the group have all the usual moderation tools an individual account would have that has the following consequences:
-
A group can be made follow only, in which case it will be a private group and the owner must approve requests to join the group
-
a group can silence or suspend servers and people, this allows a public/open group to moderate bad actors (spammers for example). It also allows the owner to let people into a private group but not necessarily allow them to post (with a silence)
Managed Groups
Should be launched on QOTO tomorrow! but the dev server with a test group is up now!
We will be opening up the Groups Server, most likely, tomorrow. I just need to get email confirmations working (not sure why they arent)…
In the meantime I created a single group for testing purposes and have the server running just to see if its stable overnight and so I can continue working on it. I will let everyone know when its open for registration so you can create your own managed group on the fediverse.
If you’d like to try out the first group, which is intended for general discussion about the group server, QOTO, or really anything really, then just post an original message and tag @QOTO and it should post to the QOTO group.
Keep in mind while QOTO users have the native group expiernce and the groups will appear to work as just a shared space where people can post publicly, users on other servers will not have the integrated expiernce, however it will still be usable and works rather well. The threads in a group will just show up as boosts instead, but functionally its the same so no big deal.
Anyway feedback welcome, play around with the QOTO group while I get some sleep and tomorrow keep your eyes out for the announcement of open-registration so you can create your own moderated group on fediverse.
@QOTO another test, please ignore.
Anyone want to help me test the new Managed Groups server I'm trying to get working? I created a single group for testing and once everything checks out I will open it for registration so people can create their own managed groups.
If you want to help me test just post a new message (not a reply) and tag @ QOTO @ groups.qoto.org in the message, that should cause the group to relay the message as a group message.

I'm a mechanical engineer graduate and am looking into designing/developing an idea I have related to water and solar power. Seeking other great minds to gain knowledge and insights.
@QOTO Testing, please ignore.
The billowing clouds.
The burning hills.
The billowing clouds that puff and flower,
Are calling me to an ancient bower.
I must sing my song.
The wheel.
Swings. Spins. Turns.
Where no thing is, shall nothing be.
Only then will I be free.
The wheel, it turns,
it comes around.
It makes an ancient rumbling sound.
The wheel, it turns,
it comes around.
It makes an ancient rumbling sound.
The wheel doth turn,
it rolls around.
Gather ‘round the wheel, my friends,
And make amends,
and make amends.
All this is about to end.
The night doth bleed into morn,
Sunlight seeping through the dawn,
Decayed, forlorn.
The wheel doth turn,
it rolls around.
It makes an ancient rumbling sound.
The wheel, it turns,
it spins around.
Fellows, come, come.
Share with me your tired tales,
And let my windy words fill your empty sails,
As you travel across gray hills and brownish dales.
Around the hub we sail.
The grinding wheel It makes an ancient rumbling sound.
Around the wheel we lightly prance, Around its hub we sprightly dance.
The grinding wheel,
it rolls around.
It makes an ancient rumbling sound.
The fickle fates, the cosmic grind,
Conspire to leave our friends behind.
