Can anyone in Mastodon (or other parts of FEDIVERSE) see if you can access the event I created in the post above?

Im aiming to see if its possible to see this event as a non-friendica user.
My guess is not, but I thought I'll give it a try!

The 3 symbols to the down right in my previous pic I guess is "attending, not attending and maybe", because they are normally not there.

It seems like it doesn't create an event the way we are used to see them and rather makes them into a post. But then the host (and hopefully others attenting) will get them in their personal calendar if they "accept".

And this is how it looks for different options while creating. Very "basic".

The last one with my profile on it is the "finished" layout before sharing it and also how it looks when opening from the calendar.

So, back to my point: I guess its *kind of* possible to share events to mastodon but the receiving end cant answer digitally to the host if they're planning on attending in the actual event and in that case needs to put a manual note in cal or bookmark the original post.

Agreed.
This calender is like a lousy 90s edition😅

But then Im on a mobile web-interface as well, but haven't found an android app running Friendica that has the "create event" function enabled. "Racoon" (android) was the best I found, but there you could only access cal, not making events. And that app lacks heaps of the other nice Friendica functions! Maybe you know someone who could build a decent app?🙃 (Or a better federated platform?😅)
