A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Why am I so stupid on this platform?
you're not stupid, it's just that the federated aspect of it combined with technical problems (things not being completely in sync) makes everything a bit confusing
edit: btw, I think the easiest way to link to another community is simply with /c/community@server, so /c/technology@beehaw.org for example. Sadly these aren't converted into links automatically yet, but if you do that manually like this, it should work on all instances: /c/technology@beehaw.org
I think you need to search for it on lemmy.world and then subscribe and post from there. I’ve had luck copying the urls and pasting them into the lemmy.world search.
If you're subscribed to that community, it should be at the URL https://lemmy.world/c/technology@beehaw.org for you (if you aren't subscribed yet you should be able to do so from that link). Then when you open the post from there it should be at the lemmy.world URL (https://lemmy.world/post/113642) and you should still be logged in.
Ah, when I do that, I see 'Subscribe Pending' :(
Strangely, I cancelled and subscribed again - now ✔ joined
Pretty sure that’s just a cosmetic issue on Lemmy 0.17.3. BeeHaw is updating to 0.17.4 in about 4 hours, which may resolve that. Either way, if you see that, you should be subscribed!
I seem to have 'Subscription Pending' on quite a few instances. It does seem to be server dependent. I'm not sure how it effects anything yet. I'm still quite new to this and learning as I go along.
Some of the popular servers are probably struggling right now, so it might have just needed a do-over.
I'm still figuring out this stuff too though so who knows!
Yes, I'm not too worried yet.
Some folks are busy setting up subs here - it'll be interesting to see if we can get subs with both direct posts as well as direct feeds from Reddit too (I get 99% of Reddit via RSS).
This is the way.
Known issue! These are growing pains for the software

^^^this issue tracker will make this a complete non-issue for you going forward once it's fixed.
You can't. If you are on beehaw you need a beehaw account to respond.
But why do you need to be on beehaw? Is the community you want to look at not available to lemmy.world?
Well there's the rub. I added the RSS a day or two ago, I saw that post. The post is from a lemmy.world account on Beehaw - I think it should be trivial to open it and interact.
If I look at the similar Lemmy feed, I don't see it - and I can't find it in a search - it's kind of 'walled off' to me.
Beehaw and Lemmy.World don't have the same headers.
