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. ↓

↑ 1 should go here. ↑
↓ 2 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.

•Now I know one more thing: Mastodon starts with the last picture and stops after four pictures.

•I'm wondering what could be the issue. Friendica should receive Hubzilla posts through ActivityPub, not in their original BBcode form. I've checked the rights as well, they ought to have been okay.
