Don't I wish this could be a Standard post, with optional formatting if a user desired ?

It is, at a Glitch Social instance, where it was made and a snapshot taken.

is needed.

Formatting included in this one :

- H1 Heading in first line.
- light touches of Bold and Italicized text
- URL link for Reddit page hidden under text description.

Not used but handy too :

- Quotes, OMG.
- Code tag with stand out text
- other Heading sizes.

Supported out of the box in GS instances. Thank you @koyu@koyu.space

Thank you!! 😺

We had a nice conversation here in the local timeline and I was VERY pleased to hear our fearless admin saying he was ok for trying out a Pleroma test instance sometime in the (near?) future.

Followed by evaluating, letting users try it, and decide if a migration was possible.

I really like these two projects, both and are pushing the boundaries, inovating and giving us Proof of Concept. That yes, it CAN be done.

We have a huge database, so to move Qoto and all content is a major job -- and conversion tools for the database would be key to enable such a move. To GlitchSocial, I think it would be an easier path, since it's a leading edge Mastodon fork, not a whole new project like Pleroma.

@freemo mentioned seeing the users impressions - and I forgot to mention, but Pleroma offers 2 or 3 different options of Front End -- the part that us users see daily.

- The Pleroma FE, which is different and takes getting used to.

- The Mastodon FE, which is in fact a port of GlitchSocial web client -- the same one in use at Koyu.space, with the enhancements GS has, and VERY similar to a mastodon generic instance for a casual user.

...while the Local Power Users get the full goodness of MarkDown, or BBcode, if they want to exercise Formatting rights. 😛

That Masto FE is a good selling tool if a migration gets to happen. Future Beckons. 🌇
