In the BBCode documentation, it's shown that you can specify a network for the abstract, but I haven't been able to find a consolidated list of these networks. What is used for each? I ask because one of the examples is [abstract=goog], which makes me unsure whether all networks have an arbitrarily shortened nickname for this purpose, or just some.

And more directly, how do you specify Mastodon for an abstract? Mastodon, mast, or something different?

This is a great question, as long as I was the only one asking it I could sleep on it, but now I guess I have to do something about it.

In the meantime, here's the full list from the code:

  • apub: ActivityPub (including Friendica, Mastodon, Pleroma, MissKey, etc...)
  • dfrn: Legacy Friendica, unlikely to work with recent-ish versions of Friendica
  • dspr: Diaspora
  • feed: RSS/Atom feeds
  • mail: Email (IMAP/POP)
  • stat: OStatus (GNU Social? They also speak ActivityPub now)

Through an addon:

  • dspc: Diaspora connector
  • lnkd: LinkedIn
  • pump: pump.io
  • stac: StatusNet connector
  • twit: Twitter
  • dscs: Discourse

Dead protocols:

  • apdn: App.NET
  • face: Facebook (API is closed)
  • goog: Google+

Currently unsupported:

  • ical: ICalendar
  • mysp: MySpace
  • nntp: Network News Transfer Protocol
  • pnut: pnut.io
  • xmpp: XMPP
  • zot: Zot!

No, if you set a title, mastodon only shows the title and a link to the original post. Setting a title makes the activity stream a type=Article instead of type=Note. Mastodon does only display Notes.

If you want a CW on mastodon, you have to put the CW-Text in between [abstract][/abstract]. Friendica doesn't display it's content than.

This behaviour is described deeply hidden in your friendica help pages (under /BBCode):

For postings that are delivered via ActivityPub, the text from the abstract is placed in the summary field. On Mastodon this field is used for the content warning.
