@freemo Hi, new to QOTO but enjoying it so far! I noticed a bug with LaTeX rendering on Android as it relates to federating w/ Mathstodon... Things that render there don't seem to render here sometimes. For instance, look at this tweet on Mathstodon from earlier today:https://mathstodon.xyz/@glakeland/109338986335014383For whatever reason the LaTeX rendering is partly broken. Loading it three times gave three different weird results: either a "Math Processing Error," not parsing it at all or a very strange rendering with huge angle brackets. The fourth pic (in a different font) is Mathstodon's rendering which seems correct. This is on Android using both Chrome and Tusky.Anyway though, great server, not sure where to post bug reports but hopefully this gets seen! Cheers

@freemo just trying the same LaTeX here: \[ G = \left\langle a,b,c \mid a^2, b^2, c^2 \right\rangle \]And some other LaTeX\[ x+y+\frac{z}{w} \]\(\log x^2\)

I've been reading the past few days about the history of Mastodon - the Gab invasion and backstory regarding which instances defederated them and etc, and where qoto stands on this.For all of this drama it doesn't look like people on qoto can see much on Gab anyway. For instance, if you look up Andrew Torba (Gab CEO) his account does appear in search from here, but only toots from him prior to like 2020 appear. The rest seem to be censored from somewhere. The same is true for other Gab accounts; it looks like most of them either show nothing or only old toots.I am super not interested in participating in Gab but am kind of curious about the tech here. Has qoto blocked newer toots from Gab users? Or has Gab blocked the rest of the fediverse? Or what? @freemo

@freemo @obi What do you mean it doesn't exist as part of the fediverse? I can still see accounts on there from search but it only shows old posts. Did they change their protocol to not use mastodon or something? Or to only be partially compatible with mastodon for old posts?

@freemo what does "post unlisted" mean? From"All accounts which engage in commercial activity as their primary purpose or posts explicitly intended to advertise must be posted unlisted."Also I would probably word that in such a way that it doesn't also mean content creators, artists, musicians, looking to promote their work...

@freemo @Ryle yes I meant this "UFOI" thing. There are now a bunch of famous or quasi famous celebrities on Mastodon, including STEM people - if John Baez, Eugenia Cheng, Sabine Hossenfelder, George Takei, etc write a book I would want them to be allowed to post a link for me to buy it... They probably will anyway. Many of these people barely know how to use Mastodon and I doubt they even know what unlisted means or how to do it.Of course QOTO can have its own rules for its own instance if you want it to be non-commercial, but I don't think it should be a federation wide rule, also for the reasons Ryle said above. I'm not sure if my suggestion would be just to get rid of that rule entirely, or if there is some way to reword it. Maybe I will leave that to Ryle as I am still pretty new here

@freemo @Ryle OK sounds good. I saw Ryle was about to make a merge request already so maybe will leave that to him

@freemo @RyleI think most of the changes are good. I'd probably just ditch the commercial requirement entirely. If some individual instance wants to have that requirement then that's alright, but I don't think it should be a federation-wide rule. Like you were saying, there isn't much for artists on here to do except for promote their stuff, which should probably be encouraged if anything. Instances primarily for artists should be permitted to let their artists post w/o special tags if they want to. Same with STEM authors promoting books.

I can't see people from types.pl on here. Have they blocked qoto? Or has qoto just not added them to the set of instances it federates with? @freemo
