I was thinking of BeOS last week. I always wanted a BeBox but was a poor highschooler

It does still live on, somewhat, in its spiritual successor, Haiku: https://www.haiku-os.org/
Its last release was in December 2022.

dang, 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

YouTube videos cannot be embedded. At least not yet.

ah ok, good to know!
the text post w/ link inside is still pretty cool from other fediverse applications anyway

But I am curious how embedded media like images, videos and audio look like for you on Mastodon.
Image:
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

welp 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.

Fwiw, though the media didn’t embed for me, they all did show up as links.

Are 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.

I 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.
