I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

  • Ah must remember wrong or maybe it was proposed!

    Yeah the software would need to know, but in a way “lemmy” knows because it knows which instances your instance is federating with. If your instance isn’t federating with the link target it cant find it anyway.

    Same as the ! Exclamation mark for communities or @ for users it can do a look up (you can put my link to your search input in lemmy and it will find it), but there would be otherways to achieve this too.

    But yeah it would be really nice to have some universal way like the ! And @ signs to point to another fedi post/comment.


  • No problem, I feel like fedistuff is so scattered and hidden that it’s always worth mentioning your favourite tools :)

    The frontends and apps do redirect embedded links in comments no? E.g. if you click this it should automatically use your instance to find the comment (even though its a link to my instance): https://sopuli.xyz/comment/17606535

    Or maybe you mean when you paste an url to the browser that it should automatically redirect to your instance? If so thats tad bit difficult. There was once a post that proposed something like a activityPub/lemmy URI scheme where links would look like this:

    activitypub://<postorcommentidentifier>
    

    But I don’t remember where that conversation led and also I have no idea how feasible that would be.

    Edit: added words

    Views that seriously harm or endanger other people are dangerous.

    If the founder would have opposing views in e.g. should we narrow down the car roads in cities and widen the pedestrian walks - ok. I think there’s a lot to this question, I think pedestrian walks should be wider, cars are dangerous, etc. But this is not as dangerous as:

    “Do you deny scientific evidence that COVID is real and a real danger to a lot of humans”

    SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder’s positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he’s also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I’ve lost receipts to that.

    I did not know this. I’ve seen people recommend SimpleX on lemmy too, but probably they didn’t know.
