Discuss.online

Basically: yes the dropdown menu appears, just as for usernames, but if you choose the item from the dropdown that you see, the Lemmy UI will do the wrong thing. My first link was made using the dropdown, while my second ignored the dropdown and just used the exclamation mark. Notice how my first link takes you to an entirely different instance? But the second link goes to the version of that community while keeping you on your same instance.

Jumping in, but I'm very curious about this. I've never seen the dropdown menu not create "!community@instance.org" links.

I am now taking my discussion.online alt to see, and with !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca, created from the dropdown, the link works as expected.

How do you manage to get harcoded links from the dropdown?

I skimmed through it, it's actually a decent article.

No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.

Very true, and that's why I'm more and more inclined to use an instance without downvotes. With the report button available, downvotes just seem like a shortcut for hivemind.

Thank you for your insight. I feel like AP cares more about the community, while nostr is about the individual.

Different kind of people will choose different approaches

I agree. I could see Beehaw survive longer than most other Lemmy instances, their community feeling is much stronger.

Interesting, thanks

Well done @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech !

Also constant growth for !movies@lemm.ee and !yurop@lemm.ee

Lemmy's code isn't that easy to get into, otherwise there would be much more contributors to it.

The third biggest contributor after the two main devs has 59 commits.

Nice tutorial

Nice project. $249 seems a bit high, but I guess it's like the Fairphone, they can't save as much as the large manufacturers do.

Hello guys, just wanted to chime in and say that it's good to see you three explain things in a calm manner in this thread. Nice to see you around.
