I added .webm to my post ?
I'm not the admin of this instance nor have the knowledge to do it maybe @xrevan86 can help ?

@mangeurdenuage @xrevan86 hmm, I'd love to find out. Would be nice to have on this instance im hosting here.

Indeed, if you want to know something else loadaverage is probably the only instances which doesn't requires JavaScript to work, see the picture. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4423575

@mangeurdenuage I could see the advantage for someone on a very limited machine. Though I'm not sure it has a huge advantage for most people. In fact the lack of some of the extras JS can provide could be a turn off.

I don't mind if an instances provides JS for users as long as the possibility to use the instances with links.

@mangeurdenuage Thats fair, but thats easily solved by providing a no js theme as an option I'd think, no?

@freemo @mangeurdenuage I didn't do anything special so I think it just works?
Maybe I'm forgetting something, I don't knowโ€ฆ

@xrevan86 @mangeurdenuage hmm so you just post the link and the preview should automatically show up for you?

@freemo Are you looking for link previews or attachments? Those are different things.
@freemo
I don't even see your post on the instance you're on that is strange. But from loadaverage I have access to your link, I don't have the preview but I have the link. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4423690

@mangeurdenuage Where is the source for your instance hosted? Do you know if your working off a modified version of the server maybe?

@freemo
From what I read it's gnu social 1.2.0-beta5 if they are inclined to do so you should seek help with @pztrn @maiyannah and @xrevan

No problem, Mastodon is one of many softwares that is part of the fediverse.
When I came by two years ago I there was only GS but there's older software than GS. Mastodon came about one year ago.

@mangeurdenuage I am aware, I just didnt think about it at the time. Though I could swear mastodon is older than that, I thought i remember seeing it more than a year ago.

Maybe a year and a few ~ months. GS is a fusion of multiple projects over time it's a decade old.

@mangeurdenuage Well regardless I have no doubt GS is older. With that said I'd love to see a matrix of features that compare the various ActivityPub compliant software. I am running Mastodon for my instance purely because I liked the expiernce the most.

@mangeurdenuage @lain I'm familiar with that as well. I tried out both before deciding to run Mastodon as my instance.
