And of course, although it's already in the Lemmy community sidebar:

Mastodon generally has a problem with

  • everything with more than four pictures in one post (because Mastodon has to convert pictures in a post to file attachments, and it can only attach four files to one post)

  • actually, everything with more than one picture in one post (because the order of the pictures may be reversed, depending on where the post comes from)

  • everything which relies on pictures embedded in the text in specific places (because those pictures converted to file attachments are attached below the post)

Technically, you may be able to view them. But chances are big that Mastodon will mangle them server-side, independently from which app you use on your phone.

  • Make sure the community is not on a Lemmy 0.18.0 instance. That version has a federation bug.

  • Visit the community with your Web browser (which is a given since Hubzilla doesn't have any working client apps).

  • Copy the URL of the community (https://lemmy-instance.tld/c/community) from the address bar.

  • On your Hubzilla instance, go to the Connections page.

  • Click the green + Add button.

  • Paste the copied Lemmy URL into the dialogue that opens then and confirm.

At least this worked for me.

I have a question to all of you who have subscribed to Lemmy groups from Fediverse projects that aren't Lemmy. Who follow Lemmy groups from e.g. #Mastodon, #GlitchSoc, #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #MissKey, what's still called #CalcKey, #FoundKey, #Mitra, #GoToSocial, #Socialhome, #Friendica etc., but also #kbin. And I sincerely hope that I'm not the only subscriber to this entire group who isn't on Lemmy.

My question is: If a Lemmy post contains an image or any other media, can you see it?

I'm on #Hubzilla. And when someone posts something with an image in it, I can see the post, but I can't see the image. When someone posts something with a video in it, I can't see the video either.

I can see images in comments with no problem. But I can't see them in posts.

How about you on Mastodon? Or on CalcKey? Or on /kbin? Or elsewhere?

I'm asking and hoping for replies because I need to find out if the issue is on Lemmy's or on Hubzilla's side so I can file a bug report.
