so now that features are really starting to diverge between different #activitypub sites we really need a way to come together and decide how these little bits can fit together. for instance #misskey has a ton of features they have implemented recently like polls and reactions other then 'star',

the masto fork now.kibousoft.co.jp has implemented #bbcode in their instance and it looked like misskey is doing something similar with https://misskey.xyz/notes/5b7c8643894f8100445b1f28

#friendica and #diaspora both support #bbcode but use a different subset so as not to be totally compatible. example here: https://social.yl.ms/display/e18176ef165ac32118316de612617438

there is a mastodon instance that implemented #markdown in posts but not sure what the URL is or how they are doing.

BBCode Test

#Friendica can do #BBCode, so just a little test. Bold - text Italics - text Underline - text Strikethrough - text Colored - text Linked text - Link Link - ...

@wakest last I recall from 4 years ago, hubzilla supported bbcode (which I can't stand) and optional markdown that had some issues at the time. I hope markdown gets first class support.

@wakest #diaspora support markdown, not bbcode.

@fla ahh thanks looking at this now https://diasporafoundation.org/formatting

but it looks like posts made with #bbcode on #friendica get partially rendered correctly by #diaspora. would like to make a diagram of the whole fediverse network and how the rendering of different things plays out.

@wakest I mean this discussion makes sense when comparing different asynchronous chat sites but there are a lot of kinds of content that could potentially federate

@darius I KNOW! thats why we need to get stated chatting about how we want it to work in a compatible way NOW while we are still in this area fresh. We dont want to have to look back 10 years from now with 20 new versions of markdown bbcode activityhubub language we have to re learn everytime we use a different service...

@wakest you might want to check out the work @kaniini is doing with #Litepub
Show threadmoved to @[email protected]Aug 22, 2018

@deadsuperhero @kaniini not sure additions to activitypub would be in the scope of litepub tho they are trying to be *lighter*

thinking more like BIPs or whatever they call them these days. “feature” extensions that could be lightly standardized in a super communal non “official” way

@wakest The obvious solution here -- which I think Misskey is doing?, is "render to an HTML, and clientside display a strictly restricted subset of HTML".

Input methods can be whatever, then.
