@arteteco How does this arrive at the "correct" shapes at the end? It's still a projection of a portion of a sphere's surface onto a plane, so distortion is inevitable.
Equal-area projections are a thing, so you can get correct sizes - but AFAIK it's not possible to get a projection where distances between all pairs of points are correct.
@freemo long-toot collapsing ignores quoted toots :(
That was it. By default, the option was unset. Explicitly setting it to "none" fixes the problem.
I have the same issue on both the dark theme and the default theme with the instance tickers.
Bulleted lists also show up as asterisks, which was an issue for him too IIRC.
@freemo Well I guess moderating who can post to the group is better than no control. I see your point about federation too - but the flip side is that the group server is vulnerable to fediblocks, crashes, etc. which give it more failure modes than hashtags. I'm interested to see how it gets used!
@freemo True -- I think a sufficiently smart group bot could respond appropriately to the original message being deleted, but yeah you'd have to trust the infrastructure you're using, and that includes the groups server.
Okay, so as things stand now, let's say I want to have a "group discussion" with some other people, who may not all mutually follow one another. What's the advantage to having everyone follow @beekeeping@groups.qoto.org and mention it in messages, versus having everyone subscribe to #BeekeepingGroupQOTO and use that tag? I'm just struggling to see the use case for this service.
@freemo Yeah in retrospect I think it didn't take - the interface to edit a circle is a little wonky and I thought I had both you and him as members, but now it's just you showing up.
Ideally I ought to be able to direct message the group account, and it gets boosted followers-only (with a managed group allowing the group owner to approve followers), right? Otherwise we might as well not have groups and just use hashtags and hashtag-subscriptions to accomplish the same thing without the need for an extra server.
@freemo Just did.[3] Even if that works it's kind of useless because all my followers are going to see it anyway, right? Following someone pulls unlisted posts into the home timeline.
@QOTO this is my third test message
@freemo I gave it a couple tries.[1][2] It doesn't seem to have come through on either a circle or a direct message. Is this the intended behaviour? It seems to kind of defeat the purpose if I can't message a group without also messaging all my followers.

@freemo @hansw Thanks! Now if only we could get an "inherit audience" option for replies, which retrieves the audience of the parent comment and bakes *that* in as the audience for the reply ;)
Right now followers-only is kind of crappy because if you make a followers-only post, by default my reply will be followers-only. So people who follow you but not me, or me but not you, get a fragmented conversation view.

Rendering is broken for me since the update. Here's what that looks like on my end.
@freemo It's animated without any further action on my part, on both the web frontend under PM28 and Tusky.

Ahh I see. "Trying" is a bit strong - I just didn't think to change the default.
After setting it to plain text: \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)
@freemo @design_RG @rgx@muensterland.social
Nope. I typed the backslashes; they just got stripped out somewhere along the line.
Trying again. \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)

There's also a whole mess of CSP errors in the console related to MathJax.
Testing the LaTeX markup: \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)
