I've been getting this error since public release. I've tried reinstalling the app a few times, but it persists.

Tried attaching a screenshot, but I get the error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

So here is an imgur instead

Same issue. Tried reinstalling the app, but it didn't help. Not on lemmy.world

Fucking low velocity!? You think Cuno doesn’t know what you’re talkin’ bout? Velocity was FUCKING MAX!

Just testing: Like this?

Edit: Looks like /c/main is really all you need for the link, the @domain suffix isn't necessary if the post is on the domain my account is on.

Maybe it's relative to the user? To me, my link above points to https://midwest.social/c/main Is it the same for you?

 

Links to other instances always say I'm logged out (which, technically, I am) that makes the link useless.

For example, I am logged in at my home instance of https://midwest.social If I click a link to go to https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support it takes me to that community, but I am not logged in (to lemmy.ml) so I am unable to meaningfully interact with it. I have to manually edit each lemmy URL that I go to in the URL bar in order for me to go to that community with my lemmy account.

So I need to manually change https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support into https://midwest.social/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and I have to do this each time I click a link to another instance if I want to post there.

I've been a system administrator for 20 years, and this took me a few minutes to figure out. "Casual" users are just going to be SOL since they aren't going to be analyzing editing URLs to make them work. I feel like the only want to fix this is to have a browser addon intercept any lemmy URLs and modify them to work based on your home instance.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how it is?

That's because the app isn't available yet. Not sure why its being advertised on Lemmy's main site. The developer has made it available only through github

These are all very different technologies that serve different purposes. I don't think they compare well at all to each other.
