I just wanted to inform you that it seems like fxmas.to is currently down for whatever reason

Discord has an issue when directly sharing a toot which contains text and video causing only the video content to be displayed. The same is happening with fxMastodon links. Confirmed the meta data does exist with the text.

Here's the original toot:

How it shows in Discord:

How it shows using fxMastodon

The meta content showing the text portion of the toot:

Ever wanted your desktop windows to jiggle around on-beat? I wrote a Winamp plugin to solve this important problem.

Some people have requested adding support for other apps such as Calckey, Misskey, Lemmy, maybe GNU Social, etc.

This would likely require some kind of software detection, to figure out what kind of software an instance is running, possibly should assume mastodon first, then if it fails, do detection, cache the detection result for future requests, and then use the APIs / templates designed for that software.

Would probably need to refactor the service into a class + adapter based approach, so that it's possible to easily write adapters for other fediverse software as needed

NOTE: This is a LOW PRIORITY issue, for now it's more important to focus on making the service work best for Mastodon, and only then start to work on adding support for other fediverse software

Currently fxmastodon doesn't handle links like "https://fxmas.to/https://mastodon.redstonelp2.com/@RedstoneLP2/110769740936484914" due to the second "https://" in the URL.

Since most (if not all) "Share link" options include the "https://" it would make using fxmastodon easier for the average user.

I haven't yet looked into it, but am probably gonna do so some time this weekend/next week

At the moment, the service only supports displaying the first image/video in a post

The most likely best fix for this would be what VxTwitter does, which is to take all of the images in a post, and merge them into one single image in a grid:

4 image post:
+------+--------+
| IMG 1 | IMG 2 |
| IMG 3 | IMG 4 |
+------+--------+

2 image post:
+------+--------+
| IMG 1 | IMG 2 |
+------+--------+

3 image post:
+------+--------+
| IMG 1 | IMG 2 |
|     IMG 3     |
+------+--------+

This could be achieved using the Pillow library for Python, or another image handling library.

This would require that the embed images are actually served by the application instead of directly linking to them, which may require use of the privex-helpers cache system (via redis or memcached adapter in production) to speed up requests and avoid constantly rendering images unnecessarily.

NOTE: This shouldn't be done for videos, only images. For videos it's best that we continue to display just the first video, as it would be difficult to merge videos into one video, especially due to audio tracks. Videos should probably take priority over images, if a post contains a video, then we display just the video, or possibly we base it off of the first media, i.e. if the first media is an image, we display only the images, if the first media is a video, we display just the first video
