@Hypolite Petovan I miss the notification bell because what you see is a "Forum" account. However, even without the bell, I should see all the notifications at the link https://poliverso.org/notifications/system?show=all

(= https://NAMEINSTANCE/notifications/system?show=all )

The problem is that even there I have no visibility on the notifications which, instead, would appear to be "perceived" by the browser... 🤔

@Hypolite Petovan I found a trick to see notifications and mark them as read! This is a somewhat stupid, cumbersome, and impractical way; yet it worked.

In practice you have to open two browser tabs, logged in with an account other than the forum one (for example, the account that controls the forum account).

At this point on one of the two browser tabs, you change your account and switch to the forum account.

As soon as you've browsed two or three pages, a funny thing will happen on the other browser tab:
1) the interface remains that of the normal account and will not yet have transformed into the typical interface of "forum" accounts
2) however the logged in user is the new one, and therefore will be the "forum" user

In doing so, you will see the bell icon (as with the normal account), but with notifications from the "forum" account

@Marek Bachmann Standard Mastodon crops the images (in the grid, but even if there is one) and I wouldn't like that; that should at least be configurable. But I do agree that the Mastodon, Pleroma, Twitter, Tumblr way of showing multiple images looks better than Friendica.

You can achieve a better look when you post multiple images by putting an empty line between the tags of the photos. The preview will help getting a better look.

If implementing a Mastodon like thing, especially if some form of cropping could occur, can I then also note that Mastodon's 'focal point' feature is really useful. It prevents photos from being cropped in embarrassing ways.

I can see the value of this and generally like it. However, given that Friendica lends itself to larger posts than Mastodon, including posts that might use multiple images interspersed within the body of the text, I am wary of any solution that compiles all the images in a post and displays them as "attachments" at the end.

There are times when I want to use images in the middle of a post, and they'd become much less meaningful in a compiled cluster at the end of the post, even if they were in a much prettier grid.

@Mihai von Glogowatz , @devadideva Totally agree with you. In any way, regarding the outlaying of multiple images issue and my current work on it, I can at least assure that images are included with the <img src="{{$image.preview}}" alt="{{$image.attachment.description}}" title="{{$image.attachment.description}}". So including the description is considered at his point.
The description for images from Mastodon are definitely obeyed on friendica. On Friendica you post you can use bbcode to add a description in this way:

@Friendica Developers FYI, I have a PR (pull request) ready for review for the image grid:

Wenn Du ein eigenes Bild verlinken möchtest, geht es recht komfortabel mit diesem Button:

Bei externen Bildern müsstest Du den [img=quelle]Beschreibung[/img] Tag selbst erstellten, ja. Immerhin kannst Du die URL zum Bild selbst ja kopieren und einfügen

Wenn ich Dich richtig verstehe, wünschst Du Dir die Möglichkeit "einfach externe Bilder mit einer Beschreibung einzufügen"?
