Picture placement compatibility test
From what I've observed so far, it looks like #Mastodon wreaks quite some havoc on #Hubzilla posts with pictures in them. I guess the same happens to posts from #Friendica and servers based on #Streams.
Here's a post to demonstrate what happens. This post should have five pictures of 7-segment digits embedded between paragraphs; vertical arrows mark where which digit should go.
↓ 1 should go here. ↓
![]( "Invalid source protocol")
↑ 1 should go here. ↑
↓ 2 should go here. ↓
![]( "Invalid source protocol")
↑ 2 should go here. ↑
↓ 3 should go here. ↓
![]( "Invalid source protocol")
↑ 3 should go here. ↑
↓ 4 should go here. ↓
![]( "Invalid source protocol")
↑ 4 should go here. ↑
↓ 5 should go here. ↓
![]( "Invalid source protocol")
↑ 5 should go here. ↑
If you don't see this the way it was intended, it's proof that there's still quite some inconvenient incompatibility within the #Fediverse.
- It probably only shows a maximum of four pictures.
- It moves them to the end of the post, regardless of where they are in the original post.
- It most likely reverses their order.
- It leaves them outside the summary (Hubzilla)/CW (Mastodon), so they're always in plain sight.

•On my Friendica instance it is the same as described by the others. For what it is worth though, on my Akkoma instance your post comes out just fine. The only "snag" there is that the images are both shown as images, and added to the post as attachments, which basically looks like file attachments to an e-mail. When I click the attachments they indeed are the numbers as images. No idea why I "get them twice", but the post itself, content-wise, looks similar to your original otherwise.
