(also testing submissions from Mastodon… hope this works as expected)

Rev ( @rev@ihax0r.com ) 5•1 year agoI was thinking of BeOS last week. I always wanted a BeBox but was a poor highschooler
ryan659 ( @ryan659@lemmy.sdf.org ) 5•1 year agoIt does still live on, somewhat, in its spiritual successor, Haiku: https://www.haiku-os.org/
Its last release was in December 2022.
lackthought ( @lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org ) 4•1 year agodang, I was hoping this would create an actual linked post on Lemmy instead of a text post with the link inside
maybe that can’t be done from Mastodon

lackthought ( @lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org ) English4•1 year agoah ok, good to know!
the text post w/ link inside is still pretty cool from other fediverse applications anyway
u/lukmly013 💾 (lemmy.sdf.org) ( @user224@lemmy.sdf.org ) English3•1 year agoBut I am curious how embedded media like images, videos and audio look like for you on Mastodon.

GIF:
Video:
Audio:
These are all nicely embedded on Lemmy. At least on the website.
Direct comment link so you can check it through Lemmy: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/1084675
lackthought ( @lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org ) 3•1 year agowelp I’m back on Lemmy and I see my Mastodon screenshots didn’t come over? :(
here they are from Lemmy
So I guess only option is direct links. It is good idea to include those anyway for compatibility.
aperson ( @aperson@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoFwiw, though the media didn’t embed for me, they all did show up as links.
u/lukmly013 💾 (lemmy.sdf.org) ( @user224@lemmy.sdf.org ) English1•1 year agoAre you going through the website or some app?
I tested it with these:
Opera 74 (Android 11): Works
Firefox 104 (Manjaro): Works
Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 7): Doesn’t format the website correctly, though media was embedded into the mess
Yeah, I see nothing over here from your side.
cfenollosa ( @cfenollosa@lemmy.sdf.org ) 3•1 year agoI actually used beos as a daily driver for a few months. This was maybe around 2000 or 2001. WinME crashed a lot for me and I couldn’t make linux detect my winmodem. Installed beos and everything was great. Dual booted with windows 98 when I wanted to play StarCraft.
Moved to Linux soon after but I will always remember those great days.
