Glenn, How am I meant to publish images on Mastodon? I have this in weewx.conf for the Mastodon extension:
``` # comma separated list of up to 4 images images = '/home/weewx/external_html/daytempdew.png,/home/weewx/external_html/dayrain.png,/home/weewx/external_html/dayuv.png' ``` Those paths lead to graphs. I thought they would be appended to the toot, like in the image of the README.md of https://github.com/glennmckechnie/weewx-mastodon, but that's not the case. So, how does it work? This is my mastodon account: https://piaille.fr/@biotmeteo Thanks, Axelle On Wednesday, August 30, 2023 at 10:34:49 PM UTC+2 Invisible Man wrote: > Ah, it looks like $day.rain.sum works in a template... :) > > On Wednesday, August 30, 2023 at 7:00:17 PM UTC+2 Invisible Man wrote: > >> Ok, so I'm switching to templates, but I'm doing something wrong, because >> I can't get that rain sum.
